2.4.2.2.3. Multiple-PC Sync Operation with Multiple-PCI R2 Cameras
The following is an example of connection involving two PC’s and eight PCI R2 cameras. This
connection is highly recommended to avoid possible delay of sync and trigger signals between
cameras (see Subsection 3.4. Timing Charts). The basic connection (shown in 2.4.2.2.1) works
but is not recommended because of greater signal delays. Use it for software triggering only.
