Description of Camera Sync Unit

Camera Sync Unit: front side

  1. Trig NO indicator
    Turns on for 0.5 s when the Trig NO input transitions from high to low.

  2. Trig NO input
    Trigger input (TTL, 0-5 Volt, normally open). The base voltage of the port is 5 Volt (high).

  3. Trig NC indicator
    Turns on for 0.5 s when the Trig NC input transitions from low to high.

  4. Trig NC input
    Trigger input (TTL, 0-5 Volt, normally closed). The base voltage of the port is 0 Volt (low).

  5. Event indicator
    Turns on for 0.5 s when the Event input transitions from high to low.

  6. Event input
    Input for creating events in QTM. The base voltage of the port is 5 Volt (high).

  7. Sync indicator
    Turns on for 0.5 s when the Sync input transitions from low to high.

  8. Sync input
    Input for TTL synchronization signal (0-5 Volt). The base voltage of the port is 0 Volt (low).

  9. SMPTE indicator
    Turns on when a valid SMPTE signal is present at the SMPTE input.

  10. SMPTE input
    Input for SMPTE time code signal, e.g. from a MOTU sound device.

  11. Genlock indicator
    Turns on 0.5 s for each vsync frame when a valid video signal is present at the Genlock input.

  12. Genlock input (video)
    Genlock input for synchronization to a video signal. Compatible with Composite video (s-video) and Component video (YPbPr / GBR).

  13. Measurement time indicator
    Turns on 0.5 s at the start of a measurement.

  14. Measurement time output
    Outputs a pulse that lasts for the duration of the measurement.

  15. Output 1 indicator
    Turns on for 0.5 s when the Output 1 port transitions from low to high.

  16. Output 1
    Programmable synchronization output (TTL, 0-5 Volt).

  17. Output 2 indicator
    Turns on for 0.5 s when the Output 2 port transitions from low to high.

  18. Output 2
    Programmable synchronization output (TTL, 0-5 Volt).

  19. Measurement status indicator

    • Green light: The system is ready to start a measurement.

    • Yellow light: The system is measuring.

    • Flashing green light: The device is synchronizing to the master device.

    • Flashing red light: Error signal.

Camera Sync Unit: back side

  1. Kensington Security Slot
    Slot for connecting a security cable.

  2. Daisy-chain data/power port
    Combined Power/Gigabit Ethernet connector.

  3. Power/Gigabit Link indicator
    Lit green when the Sync unit is powered on. An additional orange LED is lit when a Gigabit link is established.

  4. Link/Activity indicator
    Shows the status of the Ethernet connection. Fixed yellow light means that a carrier signal has been sensed and that the connection is up. Flashing yellow light indicates that data is received and/or transmitted.
