NOTE: A 3BNC-TO-00 SYNC CABLE (P/N 790-0154) SYNC interface cable is available from RED Digital Cinema:

CTRL (RS232 CONTROL)

A 4-pin LEMO connector supports RS232 remote control for 3D camera communication, and third party meta-

data ingest applications.

The shutter Sync Output signal acts as an immediate response hardware tally of a scan. This is useful for 3D

or motion control applications where a slave camera or lighting device needs to be synchronized to a master

camera.

Alternatively, this output pin may be used as a GPO (General Purpose Output) tally, whose function is pro-

grammed in the USER KEYS menu. Default function for the General Purpose Output is Record Tally.

When active, the GPO tally presents 3.3V @ 0.04 Amps maximum between pins 1 and 3. When used as Sync

Out, the rising edge of the pulse indicates start of exposure. When used as a Tally, the rising edge of the pulse

indicates start of record, falling edge represents end of record.
