5.3. Connecting Mixed Models of
Cameras to a PC
The APX RS is capable of working in synchronization with other IEEE1394 compatible
FASTCAM-series cameras such as the APX and Ultima 1024R2 in a multiple-camera
system with mixed models under control from a PC. When connecting cameras to a PC,
be sure the ID numbers do not duplicate: each camera must have a unique ID.
See the previous section for setting up camera ID on each of the cameras. For the
Ultima 1024R2, refer to its user’s manual.
Note: The Ultima 1024R2 has two IEEE1394 ports, one of which outputs a DC voltage
(see the Ultima 1024R2 Manual for details). When you wish to use this port with
a DC voltage output, and if the PC’s 1394 connector is a 6-pin type having a DC
voltage output, be sure to kill the DC voltage from the PC to avoid short circuit.
Example
As described in the previous Section 5.2., Connecting Multiple APX RS’s to a PC, set
camera ID on each of the cameras as shown below (duplication of ID is prohibited).
See the Ultima 1024R2 User’s Manual for details of the 1024R2 setup.
