4.2.5.3.4 Define the External Sync Parameters
This field instructs the selected Phantom camera to utilize any one of three sync imaging clock
sources.
The External Sync Parameters will vary based on how the selected Phantom camera is to be utilized,
(i.e., as a standalone camera, or in a multi-camera network). The following Step-by-Step Procedures
describe the setup process to use the camera in the following scenarios:
· Standalone Camera
· Using a Phantom Camera as the Master Clock Source for Serial Connected Phantom Cameras
· Using an External Clock Source to Synchronize Multiple Phantom Cameras
· Using an IRIG-B Clock Source to Synchronize Multiple Phantom Cameras
STEP-BY-STEP PROCEDURE
Standalone Camera
1.
Click the Live Control Panel Tab.
2.
Click on Advance Settings.
3.
Click the down-arrow to the right of the Sync Imaging field, then
a.
Selected Internal as Sync Imaging clock source.
When set to Internal the camera's internal crystal oscillator is used to drive the camera's
sample rate.
4.
Set the Master Camera Serial (0=none) parameter to 0, (zero).
5.
Specify the desired Frame Delay:
a.
Enter the delay time required between the clock source pulse and the frame capture to
provide a phase shift in the timing, or
b.
Leave this setting at its default of 1µs if no delay is to be added.
