Image delay output
Normally, images are sequentially output when the exposure is completed. However, the timing of output start can be
delayed. This is effective when multiple cameras are connected to the same network and it is necessary to expose at the
same time in a configuration that exceeds 1 Gbps band when operated simultaneously.
Use in normal trigger mode when you use delay output. When you perform exposure for 2 cameras at the same time,
set no delay on the first camera and set the time of completion of image output on the first camera to the second camera.

Broadcast support of command
As normal commands are executed by unicast communication, you cannot perform the same command at the same time
on multiple cameras. This camera is equipped with the function that receives the command sent to the broadcast. As the
GigE Vision standard does not recommend sending commands destined for broadcasts, broadcast reception is disabled
by default.
