3.9 3D and SYNC
Two TERRA with KineBACK-W can implement real 3D shooting; you can
shoot multiple cameras in total sync with more TERRAs and KineSYNC box.
For TERRA cameras in sync state, the sensors are almost completely
synchronized: time code synchronization, frame synchronization and
scanning synchronization with less than 5us mismatch. You need to prepare:
1. Each TERRA equipped with KineBACK-W (3D shooting option
embedded); all cameras with the exact same firmware;
2. One or more 3D SYNC cables;
3. For multi-cam SYNC, a KineSYNC box is a must.
NOTE One KineSYNC Box can help a Master to synchronize seven
slaves. To synchronize 32 cameras, you will need 32/7=5
KineSYNC Boxes.
3.9.1 Steps to set the two cameras
For 3D shooting:
1. Connect the cameras: power off the two cameras, and connect them
with 3D SYNC cable to their SYNC ports on KineBACK-W;
2. Settings: mirror shooting parameters for both of the cameras such as:
shutter, sensor fps, project fps, resolution, ISO, highlights, etc. (suggest
factory reset at first);
3. Naming the clip: [ConfigurationShootingSlate] Please set the Lens
number of Master to 0001, and slave one to 0002, which represent the
left eye clips and the right eye clips. All the other clip parameters must
be set exactly the same, except clip names;
4. Auto WB with gray or white card for two cameras respectively, so that
they gain consistent color temperature;
5. SYNC: choose one camera to set: [ConfigurationSYNC3D Master],
and the other one: [ConfigurationSYNC3D Slave], then a sync
confirmation will pop up to confirm the serial number of the Master
camera.
After confirming the connection, Master/Slave in Green font appears on the
upper left corner of the screen, then press REC button of the Master Camera,
two cameras shoot fully consistent clips, which match the left eye and right eye respectively.
