Master Synchronization

This operating mode is installed when the camera is due to receive its timing information from the part of the board. The board is the timing master of the camera.

Consider a MultiCam channel owning a camera working in this manner. The timing unit controlling the channel automatically assumes the master synchronization mode. This means that the timing unit delivers horizontal and vertical drive synchronizing signals to the camera through the associated connector.

The basic timing reference for a channel working in the master synchronization mode is an internal resource called the clock synthesizer.

Master synchronization

Domino Iota

The timing unit X is able to support the master synchronization mode. This means that one master-synchronized MultiCam channel can be enabled. However, only 5 different standard line frequencies are allowed: 15,625 Hz; 15,734 Hz; 23,230 Hz; 31,250 Hz and 31,468 Hz.

Domino Melody

The timing unit X is able to support the master synchronization mode. This means that one master-synchronized MultiCam channel can be enabled.

Domino Alpha 2

The timing units X and Y are both able to support the master synchronization mode. This means that up to two master-synchronized MultiCam channel can be enabled. However, only 5 different standard line frequencies are allowed: 15,625 Hz; 15,734 Hz; 23,230 Hz; 31,250 Hz and 31,468 Hz.

Domino Harmony

The two timing units are both able to support the master synchronization mode. This means that up to two master-synchronized MultiCam channel can be enabled.
