Walkfinder Sync-detector

The Sync-Detektor should be located in reach of 2m to WF-camera Nr.1 and easy accessible for the operators.

THe device has a fourfold function:

1.  preparation of external sync signal for the WF-camera
2.  check function of WF-camera
3. check function active markers(IR-flash)
4. check synchronicity of IR-flash and camera-exposure

In detail:

Sync-detection and editing

• The sync-signal is fed in via the BNC-plug.
• The detector identify all possible signals (blackburst,TRri-level ..)
• The incoming sync-signal will be transformed into TTL-signal and transmitted to the WF-cameras
• An LED light confirms sync-signal

Check of WF-camera

• In active mode the exposure is 450µs  and open in 50/60Hz
• a LED light confirms the correct shutter-function 

Check of marker

• By means of an integrated photo-cell the active marker function will be checked.
• The marker is moved close to the photo-cell 
• the correct  IR-flash is confirmed by light-element

Check synchronicity of marker-flash and WF-camera exposure

• The marker is moved close to the photo-cell 
• The synchronicity of camera-exposure and IR-Flash is confirmed by LED-elements.
• 2 additional LED lights are on in case IR flash is centred into the camera-exposure

The sync-detector is very valuable  "on location" tool for studio operators.
The function of each marker can be checked individually
