Chapter 2 Fitting and Connections 39
Connecting a Number of Cameras (Without Using a Camera Control
Unit)
When using two or more synchronized cameras
without a camera control unit, connect an external sync
signal to the GEN LOCK IN connector on the camera
adaptor (CA-537/537P etc.), supplying a VBS or BS
signal. The camera will then operate synchronized to
this signal.
You can adjust the synchronization using the basic
menus. (See page 59.)
