Film/Video Synchronizing Control |
|
Monitors or projected images pose special filming problems for today’s cameramen. The
Cinematography Electronics FILM/VIDEO SYNCHRONIZING CONTROL and SIGNAL PICK-UP
automatically synchronizes the camera to the scanning rate of a computer or video
monitor to remove the roll bar. In addition, this control automatically synchronizes the
camera to a projector to eliminate the rhythmic "breathing" of the filmed image. For
multiple camera shots, the FILM/VIDEO SYNCHRONIZING SYSTEM perfectly matches the
camera’s shutter speed and phasing to a second camera.
The FILM/VIDEO SYNCHRONIZING CONTROL and SIGNAL PICK-UP are compatible with Moviecam,
Arriflex, Panavision, Aaton, and more.

Film/Video Synchronizing Control
The Cinematography Electronics FILM/VIDEO SYNCHRONIZING CONTROL and SIGNAL PICK-UP automatically
synchronizes a camera to a source signal such as a computer/video monitor, projector, or another
camera. A one-time phase adjustment programs the relationship of the camera shutter to the source
signal. After this initial phasing, the phase relationship remains identical every time the camera
is turned on. The result is a monitor with the roll bar adjusted just off the screen, a projected
image with uniform light density, or a second camera shutter perfectly synchronized for that special
3D or multiple camera shot.
A source signal is introduced through either the accessory connector or the video connector. The
accessory connector input accepts cables from numerous sources including the SIGNAL PICK-UP, a
projector, or a master camera. The video connector input accepts a video composite, sine wave, or
square wave signal. All electrical connections to the camera are made through the camera connector.
A full range of camera-specific cables are available from Cinematography Electronics.
The stylish FILM/VIDEO SYNCHRONIZING CONTROL features automatic camera identification, automatic
phasing, and automatic speed recognition with a new expanded range of locking speeds from 15 fps to
120 fps. Additional features include a protected thumbwheel phase knob, a bright red LED fps
tachometer, a three position source divider knob, and LED indicators for sync, search and camera
type identification.
For creative sound shots, the control has a selectable 24/60 Hz or 25/50 Hz audio pilot-tone output.
Cinematography Electronics offers numerous unique brackets for attaching the FILM/VIDEO
SYNCHRONIZING CONTROL to a camera. See our Cinematography Electronics Mounting Brackets literature
for complete details.
The FILM/VIDEO SYNCHRONIZING CONTROL is the first choice of cinematographers and rental companies
worldwide for its unsurpassed camera compatibility, ease of operation, efficiency, and
reliability.

Signal Pick-Up
The innovative Cinematography Electronics SIGNAL PICK-UP eliminates the need for any
physical connection to a computer or video monitor. The SIGNAL PICK-UP is a small rugged
sensor with a signal sensitivity switch, a sense indicator, and an accessory connector.
When placed near the back of a monitor, the SIGNAL PICK-UP converts the magnetic field
of the monitor into a usable source signal. This source signal from the SIGNAL PICK-UP
is all that is needed for locking the camera to the monitor. The SIGNAL PICK-UP
interfaces to the control via an accessory cable. Accessory cables are available in
various lengths and can be linked for extra-long distances.
The FILM/VIDEO SYNCHRONIZING CONTROL and SIGNAL PICK-UP are compatible with Moviecam,
Arriflex, Panavision, Aaton, and more.
