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.
- On both cameras, set the project time base and recording frame rate.
- 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.
- Follow the instructions in Set Up Master/Slave Operation to set Master and Slave camera settings.
- 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')
