2.4.3.  Connections of PC and multiple systems 

The control software PFV can control multiple systems of SA / Mini series, MC2.1 and MH4-10K by 

connecting with one PC.  

 

 

  Please do not set up conflicted IP addresses. 

 

 

2.4.4.  Simultaneous Replay/Record Function 

With this system, the data recording memory may be divided into two active sections, which allows 

the user to record an ongoing event into one of the sections while replaying the image recorded in 

the other section. 

 

 

  For information on the operation of the function, please refer to “Photron FASTCAM Viewer Users’ 

Manual”.
