I have got two Chronos 2.1 cameras. The footage from these cameras have been fantastic and the cameras have been really nice to work with. I have till now worked with individual cameras, and I am trying to set up the two cameras in sync to film insect flights. I would like to set up a post-trigger. I am having some difficulties and I hope you can help. Below is what I have tried
1. Master camera has a BNC Tee, with a BNC cable at one end (connected directly to the slave camera) and a trigger cable at the other. Trigger cable is purchased from Krontech.
2. Trigger setting on Master: IO1 (BNC): Frame Sync Output ON; 20mA Pullup ON; rest are OFF
3. Trigger setting on Slave: IO1 (BNC): Shutter Gating ON; rest are OFF
If I change the shutter speed on the Master (exposure values change), that does the corresponding change in the slave. Note, in the slave only the view changes, but not the exposure values.
When I press the trigger, neither of the camera records, but the trigger is detected in the slave only - where the frame is frozen.
So, I removed the BNC tee from the master and connected the two cameras directly with a BCN cable with no external trigger. Now I had the following settings
1. Trigger setting on Master : Frame Sync Output ON; rest are OFF
2. Trigger setting on Slave: IO1 (BNC): Shutter Gating ON; rest are OFF
Again, changing shutter speed on the Master, changed the exposure on the slave. But if I press record on the Master (or on the slave), it records only on the camera where I clicked record, but not the other.
I am clearly missing something rather simple here. Could you please help?
Both cameras
Monochrome 2.1, 32GB
Release version: 0.5.1
Build: 0.5.1
Frame rates are set to match on both at 1000 fps
Thanks heaps for your help!
