External Synchronization Unit ESU-1

The external synchronization unit ESU-1 photo can be used with the ARRIFLEX 235 as well as with the 435 models, 535, 535B and 16SR 3/Advanced. It allows synchronization of the camera 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 computer or video 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 pilottone generator have also been integrated into the external synchronization unit. The synchronization is retained even when the camera is switched off.

See TECHN. INFORMATION “External Synchronization Unit ESU-1”.
