MASTER/SLAVE OPERATION
This section describes operation in Master/Slave configuration and clip naming conventions for clips recorded
on those cameras. Master/Slave is the most common configuration for Stereo/3D productions.
When cameras are operated in Master/Slave configuration, you can perform the following operations:
Power: Turn off the Master camera to turn off both cameras.
Record: Press the PWR/REC button on the Master camera to start/stop recording on both cameras.
Change settings: Change settings on the Master camera, to change settings on the Slave camera.
NOTE: The Master camera controls metadata and basic camera parameters of the slave cameras. Any other
setting changes required by the Slave cameras must be made before recording.
NOTE: For a Master/Slave configuration to function correctly, the cameras must be on the same firmware
version, and must be using the same project time base and sensor frame rate.
