Trigger Box Quick Start Guide

Using the Sync input from a camera

Flair can use the Synchronisation (Sync) signal from a video camera to

control the speed at which the rig moves during a scene. For details of

doing this refer to the Flair documentation.

There are two typical ways to get the Sync signal from the camera into the

RT-14 interface box (and from there into Flair):

• Plug the External Camera Trigger Out/Sync In cable into the

SYNC connector on the ribbon cable (see page 2).

• Connect the Sync In signal wires to the Trigger Box (see

below).

1. Attach the Sync wires from the camera to the pair of EXT. SYNC

connectors on Trigger Box.

The Sync signal coming from the camera must be 5 to 24 Volts DC.

The internal resistance of this circuit is 2.2 kilo-ohms.

2. Make sure the CAM TEST ON/OFF switch is Off. This position

reads the incoming Sync signal from the connectors and sends it on

to Flair, instead of sending the Sync signal that can be generated by

the Trigger Box’s own internal simulated camera.

Hint

The wires for the Sync In signal are not cut on the ribbon cable, so

you can put the Sync In signal into any plug or device on the cable.
