Dual Camera Configuration; Single Camera Configuration - GRASS VALLEY OCP 400 User Manual

2.2 Dual camera configuration

This configuration is commonly used in 3D operation. One of the two OCPs is switched to a
special multi-camera mode, in which its own camera is the primary camera and the other the
secondary camera. All functions controlled from this OCP that fall under multi-camera control,
will be sent to both cameras at the same time.
In multi-camera mode, all switch-functions and multi-valued switch functions will be controlled
in an absolute manner, so, e.g. the colour bar or optical filters of both cameras will be set to
the same value when controlled from an OCP in multi-camera mode. In case of potmeter-
functions (e.g. iris, gains, blacks) the behaviour is different. In this case both cameras will
receive the same relative updates, so any offsets between their values will normally remain
intact.

2.3 Single camera configuration

In local mode, the OCP 400 is directly connected to the serial RS-232 connector at the front of
the camera. Both the camera and the OCP 400 must be powered locally. Video signals are
available at the camera's adapter.
