Page 312 External input/output signal circuit Simple Synchronized Recording Synchronized recording can be easily performed because the multiple HX/GX series cameras or the fx series cameras with the exposure start signal (EST) input function use exposure pulse output (EPO). Additionally, synchronized recording is also possible with other cameras that have equivalent functions. Since there is a possibility that the time precision cannot be guaranteed due to signal delays or time changes, the limitation is that all of the cameras must have the same frame rate.

Page 319 External input/output signal circuit Exposure Phase Shift Function Used as a method of realizing the high resolution and high recording speeds while using multiple cameras. Used for remote recording to ignore the parallax from camera placement. The setting is the phase angle (1 degree units, 0～359). The exposure phase shift settings can only be made from the camera control software HXLink.
