External Synchronization Unit ESU-1
The external synchronization unit ESU-1 Aphoto can be used with the ARRIFLEX 416 as well as with the 235, the 435 models, 535, 535B and 16SR 3/Advanced. It allows the camera to be synchronised to other equipment such as TV monitors. By means of a BNC-socket, it is possible to synchronize to an external standard video signal (50/60 Hz) or, through an inductive pickup, to a CRT type monitor. The camera display shows “ESU” in the upper line. The ESU-1 can be used for frame rates from 3 to 60 fps.
The frame rate is indicated on the camera display in Mode 2. A phase shifter and a pilot tone generator have also been integrated into the external synchronization unit. The phase relationship of the synchronization is retained even when the camera is switched off.
See TECHN. INFORMATION “External Synchronization Unit ESU-1”.
•To connect the ESU cable to the camera, the 235/416 Accessory Expansion Cable KC-88-s has to be connected to the camera’s “REMOTE“ socket. The ESU cable is then connected to the accessory expansion cable. The RCU-1 can be connected to the other socket of the accessory expansion cable.
