Abstract
An event synchronizing apparatus E for an image intensification camera system C for gathering image data includes an image intensifierfor amplifying received light. A relay optic assemblyis coupled between the image intensifierand a digital image sensor, such as a CMOS or CCD device. Digital logicis used to process or output an image or related data. An event detectordigitizes an input signalfrom an illumination sourceand generates an electrical output synchronization signalin response to the input optical signal. The image intensifier camera C derives imaging and control information for the synchronization signal.
