3D Synchronization​

Both camera heads are automatically synchronized by default (Master mode). The SYNC connector allows linking multiple 3D cameras together.

Three sync modes are available:

  • Off : cameras operate independently
  • Master (default) : self-sync + output sync signal
  • Slave : waits for external sync signal
warning

The sync signal is a proprietary PROTON format, not bi-level or tri-level. Converter boxes are available on request for tri-level sync infrastructure.

Camera IDs: A = ID 1, B = ID 2. Both are controllable together via broadcast group 0.

Premium lenses

Premium lenses have higher-grade optics, with more glass elements, so they stay sharp across the whole image. On the other lenses, sharpness drops towards the edges.

If you use the Crop feature (2K cameras), prefer a premium lens: when you pan/tilt within the sensor, the edges of the image end up in the frame, and cropping magnifies any loss of sharpness.

See the lenses page for installation, focus and shading instructions.
