CAMERA CONTROL
The JBox offers 2 methods to control the cameras:
1.
Via Gb Ethernet, controlled directly by a computer with PCC or third-party software.
2. Via the System Port and a system cable to access Trigger, IRIG, Strobe, FSYNC, Ready
control, and Ethernet. The cable may be spliced or connected to a Control Break-out
Box (Control BoB). More detail about the Control BoB is in the Accessories Section.
SIGNAL MANAGEMENT
PCC: Aux 2 should be set to "Ready" for all cameras; Aux 3 should be set to "IRIG" for all
cameras.
Ethernet: The JBox has an RJ45 Ethernet connection
Trigger: Does not require a specific set-up in PCC. The JBox accepts a Trigger signal either
through the System cable, or through the Trigger BNC.
Synchronization by IRIG: Set all cameras "Sync to IRIG" in PCC.
The JBox accepts an IRIG signal from an external source through the System cable. If no
external source is present, the JBox will select one of the attached cameras as the IRIG
source.
Synchronization by FSYNC: In PCC, Aux 1 should be set to "FSYNC" for all cameras.
Set all cameras except one to "Sync to
External" in PCC. Set the one remaining
camera to "Sync to Internal". This one
camera may be in any port.
The JBox accepts an FSYNC signal either via the system cable, or via the Aux 1 BNC, or via
any camera connected to the JBox.
AUXILIARY FUNCTIONS
Strobe: In PCC, Aux 1 should be set to
"Strobe" for all cameras.
The JBox automatically selects one of the
cameras to emit a strobe signal. The signal
is output to both the Aux BNC and the System
cable. The cameras connected to the JBox
capture images synchronously based on the
IRIG setting.
If using a camera FSYNC do not use any
external FSYNC signals.
Set the same frame rate and exposure for
all cameras, to ensure they all capture
images simultaneously.
It is not possible to sync via FSYNC and use
Strobe at the same time.
