3.16.3. Synchronizing Multiple FASTCAM SA2 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 the "LCD remote controller
(optional)" or 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 the "LCD remote controller (optional)" or PFV.
 For PFV (Standard)
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.
Set "GENERAL OUT1".
 For the LCD Remote Controller (Optional)
1. Press the LCD remote controller's MENU key and the menu list is displayed.
2.
Select GENERAL OUT1 from the SYNC IN/OUT submenu with the LCD remote controller's
ARROW keys and press the ENTER key.
3. From the menu, select the signal to output from the master camera’s GENERAL OUT1
connector. Move the cursor to the SYNC POS item with the ARROW keys and press the
ENTER key to select.
