G/L IN connector [G/L IN]
This is the external sync signal input connector.
This unit supports BBS (Black Burst Sync) and tri-level
synchronization.
External synchronization (genlock) can be applied to
achieve phase alignment when multiple cameras are to
be used or when the unit is to be used in combination with
other devices.
Supply to this connector the sync signals that correspond
to the video signal format which has been set.

Cameras whose camera address setting switches
are set to AUTO cannot coexist with cameras whose
switches are set to 1 to 7.
●
Manually setting multiple cameras to the same
address will not allow you to control multiple
cameras from a single controller simultaneously.
