I/O Port: The i/o port allows spectrum ST4 to take in communication from 3rd party devices. The
options are:
a. Dragonframe computer software: Dragonframe is great for programming complex
key-frames and saving moves. For this integration you will need our USB to I/O
port cable for spectrum ST4: https://emotimo.com/products/usb-to-i-o-port-cable-
for-spectrum-st4. For more on this integration, please visit our support article here:

b. eMotimo API: We do have an API for spectrum If you’re a developer interested in
programming spectrum’s movement through your software, please reach out to us
directly at [e-mail] for details.
c. Ext. Trig (refer to page 27): If you are using spectrum with an external trigger (often
times used for bulb ramping) select Ext. Trig. For details on setting up an Ext. Trig
shot, please visit our Ext. Trig support article here: https://support.emotimo.com/hc/

SMS Trigger Time:
Keep at default unless specically directed to change. You may want to adjust if using DSLR
dashboard, but be sure of what you’re doing rst.
SMS Trigger Time is how long spectrum holds the camera shutter down for. Normally (default)
spectrum keeps shutter pressed for the entire static time. This setting allows you to change
that. While we’re triggering cameras can’t communicate over USB. Therefore, this is helpful if
you want to shorten your trigger time and give your camera more time to communicate over
USB.
