4 Synchronization of the FDM platform
The FDM platform offers several options for recording the platform measuring data
synchronously with such of other measuring devices.
In order accomplish synchronized recording of motion data, digital video or EMG the
platform provides synchronization inputs and outputs with galvanic separation.
4.1 Synchronizing the FDM Platform with video data (Sync Audio)
The Sync-Audio socket serves for synchronizing the platform measurement and
recordings of commercially available video cameras utilizing the external microphone input
of the camera.
The synchronization is effected by imprinting a tact signal on the soundtrack of the video
recording. This data is evaluated automatically by the application software WinFDM
for
synchronizing the platform data and the video signal.
For the connection to the video camera the following synchronization cable is required:
Item No.
1830016/Video Sync-Control cable,
cable length 7m with amplifier and control LED.
