The
CAM SYNC
setting specifies where the controller should
look to find the synchronisation (“sync”) signal. This signal is
used to control how the movement of the head is synchronised
to the camera frames so that repeat passes match, frame for
frame. This signal usually comes from the camera, but can also
come from a separate “genlock” sync generator, and is used to
synchronise the movement of the head with the video frames
so that multi-pass shots match, frame-for-frame.
–
INTERNAL
- (Not operational in this version.)
–
MSA GPI 1
- the controller expects the sync signal to
come in through the General Purpose Input connector.
This does not apply to the LFP.
–
MSA VIDEO
- (Not operational in this version.)
–
HEAD
- the controller expects the sync signal to come in
via the head, through one of the following connectors:
Trigger In
(pin 3) on the
TRIGGER
connector, on an AFC
head that has the optional BCST70 panel or on any head
with a Quad-box or Octo-box (SFH-30 head or SFH-50).
GPI1 In
(pin 10, Trigger In 1) on the
CAM ACC
(Camera
Accessory) connector on any head with an Ulti-box
(SFH-50 head or Ulti-head).
–
DISABLED
- no synchronisation. Record and playback
starts without waiting for a sync pulse from the camera.
If you specify
MSA GPI 1
or
HEAD
, recording or
playback of a move will not begin until the controller
detects an incoming sync signal through the specified
connection. That is, you must start the camera manually to
initiate recording or execution of the move.
•
SYNC TIMEOUT
- The number of seconds that the controller
will wait to receive a sync pulse at the start of the move. If no
sync pulse is received in this time then the move will not start
and the message
CAM SYNC FAILED
is displayed.
