3.16.4. Synchronizing Multiple FASTCAM Mini WX50/100 Systems
(Multiple Unit Synchronized Recording)
The system can perform synchronized recording by synchronizing multiple units using external.
Synchronization input/output
Synchronized recording settings using the system are made with PFV. The conceptual settings
when performing synchronized recording using two systems are explained here. First, decide which
camera to make the master camera (outputs the synchronization signal) and the slave camera
(receives the synchronization signal) from the two systems to use for synchronized recording.
Setting the Master Camera (Outputs Synchronization)
Set the signal output for the master camera which will output the synchronization signal. Synchronization
signal settings are made with PFV.
1. Verify that the camera mode is in LIVE mode (the image displayed is passed through from the
camera). If the system is in a mode other than LIVE mode, check "Live" on the camera
control panel.
2. Select I/O on the left tree from "Camera Option" on the camera control panel.
3. Ensure that “OUTPUT1” is set “SYNC POS”.
4. Ensure that “OUTPUT2” is set “TRIG POS”.
