Chapter 4: Advanced Operations: Linking to Cameras

Assigning cameras
To perform simultaneous recording controls and light PGM/NEXT tallies by linking with the Remote
Commander, the cameras to be linked must be assigned.
When a camera is assigned and either [Multi Cam Recording] or [Tally Control] is set to [On], camera
number indicators (R1 to R3) appear in the [Input] viewer of the multi-viewer.
Simultaneous recording control
You can simultaneously apply recording start/stop controls performed in the [RECORDING] menu to the
three cameras controlled by the Remote Commander.
When you start recording via [START] in the [RECORDING] menu, recording on the cameras also starts.
When you stop recording via [STOP], recording on the cameras also stops.

Lighting PGM/NEXT tallies
You can display tallies on the cameras that are selected for the PGM output and NEXT output. When
shooting with multiple cameras, this function notifies each camera operator of when their video will be
used, thereby reducing the number of missed shots.
