Set Up Stereo/3D Configuration

NOTE: Master/Slave operation requires a GIG-E port, which is available on the DSMC2 REDVOLT Expander and DSMC2 Jetpack-SDI Expander. For more information, go to GIG-E (Ethernet).

This section describes basic procedures for connecting two (2) cameras in a Master/Slave configuration for 3D operation.

NOTE: When providing the signals to a Stereo Image Processor (SiP) for verifying 3D alignment, set the HD-SDI monitor output on both cameras to have the same overlay configuration.

NOTE: For genlock to function correctly, the cameras must be on the same firmware version, and must be using the same project time base and recording frame rate.

To set up a Stereo/3D setup, follow the instructions below.

  1. On both cameras, set the project time base and recording frame rate.
  2. On both cameras, follow the instructions in Sensor Sync to achieve Sensor Sync genlock status.

    The GEN and SYNC indicators in the Lower Status Row illuminate green.

  3. Follow the instructions in Set Up Master/Slave Operation to set Master and Slave camera settings.
  4. On both cameras, follow the instructions in Set Reel Number, Camera ID, and Camera Position to set up media and camera settings.

Required Cables

Use one (1) per camera:

  • DSMC2 REDVOLT Expander or DSMC2 Jetpack-SDI Expander: 75 ohm BNC cable (such as the RED HD-SDI Cable, P/N 790-0341)

Use one (1) per setup:

  • 790-0163: Master/Slave Gig-E Cable (4')
