Connecting Two or More Cameras — Multi-Camera System

Notes on multi-camera systems

Take the following steps to prevent flicker when switching between two or more cameras connected to a video switcher.

•Supply the same sync signal to the EXT CTRL connectors on each camera (see below).

Set “EXT.CTRL (BNC)” to “GENLOCK” on PAGE 3 menu. For details, see page 23.

•Adjust the subcarrier and horizontal synchronization phases for all cameras.

For more details, see “Adjusting the Picture Tone in a Multi- Camera System” on page 37.
