- 1080p 23/24/25/29/30/50/59/60
- 4Kp 23/24/25/29/30/47/48/50/59/60
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
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.

Wires
SDI A & SDI B
HD-BNC connectors (Amphenol 034-1028) carrying 12G SDI signal for each camera.
Sync
HD-BNC connector for Proton Sync signal (proprietary format).
Male 6P Hirose
Ref: HR10A-7R-6PB(73)
This cable provides: data and power.
Here is the pinout:

| Signal | Pin |
|---|---|
| RS485 A/+ | 1 |
| RS485 B/- | 2 |
| GND | 5 |
| +12V | 6 |
Please, note the picture is solder side of the camera side. So if you look the connector, it's left/right inverted. Same if you're wiring a matching connector.
