Sync Source

Use Sync Source to select the sensor sync source from Genlock, ACN, or PTP.

Select Genlock when you are connecting the rear Genlock BNC connector to a Genlock sensor sync signal.

Select ACN when you are wirelessly connecting the camera to an Ambient Communication Network for your sensor sync signal.

Select PTP when you are connecting the rear GIG-E port to a network's Precision Time Protocol domain for your sensor sync signal.

Sync Shift

Use Sync Shift to open the keypad and enter the number of Sync Shift Time Units you want to offset the sensor from the external sync signal. Use this setting to resolve synchronization issues on set such as when working with LED Volumes.

In this example, the Sync Shift is 2 x 0.013481 microseconds ≃ 0.026 microseconds.
