Synchronization
EXT Sync Mode
One camera is functioning as the master camera and the other camera(s) as slave camera(s). A slave
camera can be a sensor slave (only sensor synchronized) or a settings slave (sensor and settings
synchronized).
1. Connect the cameras via their EXT connector using the MINI-EXT-sync cable(s) and the EXT
Distribution Box EDB-2.
Note: One EDB-2 or more are needed, if the cluster consists of more than two cameras.
2. Select MENU > System > Sensor > EXT Sync.
Following options are available:
Off
EXT Master
EXT Sensor
Slave
EXT Settings
Slave
EXT Sync is disabled.
Configures the camera as the master camera. The camera has control over
one or more slave cameras. The sensors of all slave cameras will be synchro-
nized to this camera's sensor. All slave cameras will inherit the timecode from
this camera.
The master camera can be supplied with external timecode and can be syn-
chronized to an external genlock source.
Configures the camera as a sensor slave. The sensor is synchronized with
the master camera. The SDI outputs of the slave camera are synchronized
with the master camera. The slave camera inherits the timecode from the
master camera. Recording starts and stops simultaneously on all cameras.
Configure the camera as a settings slave. The sensor is synchronized with
the master camera. The SDI outputs of the slave camera are synchronized
with the master camera. The slave camera inherits the timecode from the
master camera. Recording starts and stops simultaneously on all cameras. To
ensure an identical clip naming, the slave camera inherits the camera ID from
the master camera. Settings synchronized parameters include:
Project Rate
Sensor Fps
Shutter and Shutter Unit
Exposure Index
White Balance*
ND Filter
Recording Codec
Recording Resolution
Active Look
* White balance: Whenever it is changed on the master camera, the slave
cameras will inherit the new setting. The setting inherited from the master
camera can anytime be overridden on slave camera(s) by either setting a new
value or by executing auto white balance.
Note: Configure all slave cameras first and master camera last.
Note: Parameters can only be changed from the master camera.
