Connecting Cables for Multiple Camera
Configuration
Multiple iXU-RS/iXU-R/iXU cameras can be synchronized
to shoot simultaneously. When using iXU-RS/iXU-R/iXU
cameras, ensure that you have mounted Schneider-Kreuznach
fast sync [S] lenses on the cameras. The first camera in the
daisy-chain is triggered with an iXU RA control cable.
Before connecting, ensure that all cameras in the array do
not have iX Link activated. See "Deactivating iX Link" on
page 47.
1.
Insert an iXU RA control cable into data terminal A (left
one) on an iXU-RS/iXU-R/iXU camera.
2.
Connect the other end of the iXU RA control cable into the
GPS/IMU.
3.
Insert a iXU RA multi-sync cable into the camera’s data
terminal B (right one).
4.
Connect the other end of the iXU RA multi-sync cable to
data terminal A of the second camera.
5.
Repeat for additional cameras.
6.
Connect an iXU RA control cable from data terminal B of
the last camera in the daisy-chain.
7.
Connect the other end of the iXU RA control cable to the
flight management system or other device.

Identifying a Fast Sync Lens
When shooting with multiple iXU cameras, ensure that you
are using Schneider-Kreuznach fast sync lenses.
Schneider-Kreuznach fast sync [S] lenses can be identified
by [S] on the side of the lens.
Note: R & RS lenses are Fast Sync.
