Shooting While Calibrated; External Effects Triggering - Creamsource Vortex 8 Manual

7. Camera Sync

7.6 Shooting While Calibrated

Once the Creamsource has been calibrated, any of the modes may be used without the possibility of causing torn frames. The remote dimmer unit or
DMX control can also be used safely. If the framerate, shutter angle or the phase of the camera shutter is adjusted, then you will need to re-calibrate.

7.7 External Effects Triggering

You can use an external pulse to trigger the Sync Flash and Dual Level effects. This input is on the Accessory Connector, see Accessory pinout for more
information.
• The Rising pulse edge triggers the effect, and is the same as pressing the FLASH button in.
• The Falling pulse edge is the same as releasing the FLASH button.
• The input level can be inverted by selected 'Invert Input Level' from the Advanced > Sync Options menu.
NOTE: An input voltage from 5V – 24V can be used for trigger signal. The input impedance is 150kΩ.
