19.1 EXT Sync

Up to 16 ALEXA Mini LF cameras can be synchronized for various applications requiring sensor

synchronization. One camera is set as the master camera and the other cameras function as slave

cameras. Cameras can be connected to each other via the EXT connector, using the MINI-EXT-sync

cable (K2.0009051) and the EXT Distribution Box EDB-2 (K2.0013145).
When synchronized,

Images are captured from each camera's sensor at precisely the same time.
Recording starts and stops simultaneously on all cameras.
Recorded clips have identical start and end timecode.
SDI outputs of all cameras are synchronized.
