-
If the PADLOCK appears on its own as shown above, the camera is Genlocked. This means the shutter start time is referenced to the external Genlock signal, so multiple cameras recording the same scene will be capturing their individual images at the same moment in time if they are all Genlocked to a common reference signal.
-
If the PADLOCK has a red circle and diagonal bar through it as shown below, this indicates the sensor is not Genlocked. Check that the Genlock signal generator frame rate is equal to the project TIME BASE and / or the cabling and connections are correct.
MODE Enables one of three following shutter modes: (Default selection is Normal) For additional information, see SPEED section.
-
Normal: Shutter Speed is defined exclusively by the Shutter Speed setting.
-
Syncro: Shutter Speed is defined by Shutter Speed, but modified by Syncro setting.
-
Relative: Shutter Speed is defined by Shutter Speed, but modified by the capture fps.
To adjust: Select MODE and twist joystick (like a knob) to change the highlighted SHUTTER MODE box to the desired setting.
NOTE: If operating in Relative or Syncro modes, the shutter speed is reported in yellow text. NOTE: If the operator requests a shutter speed (angle) that is outside the capability of the camera in that mode, the actual shutter speed (angle) used will be reported in red text.
SPEED When operating in Normal mode, the Shutter Speed value used by the camera is fixed, i.e. it is independent of the image capture rate. This is opposite from a mechanically shutter camera.
Decreasing Shutter Speed will allow more light to fall on the sensor, increasing exposure and motion blur on any objects moving within the frame. As Shutter Speed increases less light falls on the sensor, decreasing exposure and motion blur on objects moving within the frame. Exposure times presets include: 1/24, 1/25, 1/30, 1/32, 1/33, 1/40, 1/48, 1/50, 1/60, 1/96, 1/100, 1/120, 1/125, 1/192, 1/200, 1/250, 1/384, 1/400, 1/500, 1/696, 1/800, 1/1,000, 1/1,200, 1/2,000th sec.
