master camera has been set to positive (VSYNC POS), ON POS CAM should be
selected here.
6. Once the selection is done, press the ENTER key to set it.
*Note: When you wish to make the APX or 512 camera synchronized to the APX RS,
the APX RS is the master camera and the APX or 512 the slave. Follow the
above procedure swapping the places of the two cameras.
Synchronizing the APX RS to FASTCAM-Ultima 1024R2
To make the APX RS camera synchronized to an Ultima 1024R2, the 1024R2 is the
master camera and the APX RS slave.

2. Move the cursor by the U-D keys to [EXT OUT] menu and press the ENTER key to
set the selection.
3. Move the cursor up or down to select an output signal from the EXT OUT
connector. Select [ VSYNC POS] in this example, and press the ENTER key.
4. Now the system has been set in the way that a sync signal (positive going) is
output from EXT OUT connector.
Setting up the APX RS (Slave Camera Receiving Sync Signal from the
Master)
Next, set up the input sync signal on the slave camera.
1. Connect between the EXT OUT of the master camera and the EXT-SYNC IN of the
slave camera with a BNC cable to feed the sync signal from the master camera to
the slave.
2. Make sure that the green LED (POWER LED) on the rear panel of the slave
camera blinks.
3. To set up the type of sync signal that the slave receives, press the MENU key on
the keypad to display the menu list.
4. Move the cursor by the U-D keys to select the [EXT-SYNC IN] menu.
5. Move the cursor by the U-D keys to select the type of output signal. Because the
master camera has been set to positive (VSYNC POS), ON POS CAM should be
selected here.
6. Once the selection is done, press the ENTER key to set it.
*Note: It is not possible to make the 1024R2 synchronized to the APX RS because the
1024R2 does not have the function to follow a sync signal from external source
(frame-rate sync recording feature).
