14.6.6 Master / Slave Camera Connection

The line output of one Photonfocus GigE camera can easily be connected to a line input of
another Photonfocus GigE camera as shown in Fig. 14.10. This results in a master/slave mode
where the slave camera operates synchronously to the master camera.
A pull up resistor is necessary, when an open drain output (ISO_OUT0 or
ISO_OUT1) is used, which is shown in the connection A in Fig. 14.10. When
ISO_OUT2 is used (see connection B in Fig. 14.10), which is a high speed TTL out-
put, it can be connected to any of the four single ended input without a pull up
resistor.
