[Music] [Music] okay we're going to talk about okay we're going to talk about okay we're going to talk about triggering families to make them run and triggering families to make them run and triggering families to make them run and taking synchronization from cameras here taking synchronization from cameras here taking synchronization from cameras here we have our rig it is sitting at the we have our rig it is sitting at the we have our rig it is sitting at the moment in its home position focus moment in its home position focus moment in its home position focus activity is at an infinity the Machine activity is at an infinity the Machine activity is at an infinity the Machine rest of the machine is in its home rest of the machine is in its home rest of the machine is in its home position I'm going to enable my robot position I'm going to enable my robot position I'm going to enable my robot focus is already enabled I have actually focus is already enabled I have actually focus is already enabled I have actually pre-programmed the move which we're pre-programmed the move which we're pre-programmed the move which we're going to use as an example already we going to use as an example already we going to use as an example already we have used a cable that plugs into the have used a cable that plugs into the have used a cable that plugs into the camera in a couple of places and that camera in a couple of places and that camera in a couple of places and that table enables us to feed a start and table enables us to feed a start and table enables us to feed a start and stop trigger to the camera and to take a stop trigger to the camera and to take a stop trigger to the camera and to take a synchronization pulse at the frame rate synchronization pulse at the frame rate synchronization pulse at the frame rate of the camera out that cable runs up to of the camera out that cable runs up to of the camera out that cable runs up to node one which is an ulti box on the arm node one which is an ulti box on the arm node one which is an ulti box on the arm of this bolt and goes into the camera of this bolt and goes into the camera of this bolt and goes into the camera accessory socket by use of this table we accessory socket by use of this table we accessory socket by use of this table we are able to start and stop our camera are able to start and stop our camera are able to start and stop our camera and take synchronization in order to and take synchronization in order to and take synchronization in order to lock the movement of the machine to the lock the movement of the machine to the lock the movement of the machine to the camera I'm going to open a file here job camera I'm going to open a file here job camera I'm going to open a file here job I'm going to open is cord stand top I'm going to open is cord stand top I'm going to open is cord stand top opening this job and there we are we opening this job and there we are we opening this job and there we are we have stand job running with an re ultra have stand job running with an re ultra have stand job running with an re ultra prime lens so we are using that lens and prime lens so we are using that lens and prime lens so we are using that lens and our focus axis is zeroed at infinity go our focus axis is zeroed at infinity go our focus axis is zeroed at infinity go to position one to position one to position one of my move there I am in position one of of my move there I am in position one of of my move there I am in position one of my move my move when run is 8 seconds my move my move when run is 8 seconds my move my move when run is 8 seconds long 200 frames at 25 frames a second long 200 frames at 25 frames a second long 200 frames at 25 frames a second and this is the move now I'm going to my external camera set now I'm going to my external camera set up my external camera set up and they're up my external camera set up and they're up my external camera set up and they're with me to do two different things it with me to do two different things it with me to do two different things it enables me to start and stop a camera enables me to start and stop a camera enables me to start and stop a camera and enabled me to take synchronization and enabled me to take synchronization and enabled me to take synchronization from a camera I've selected any camera from a camera I've selected any camera from a camera I've selected any camera here and because I'm using a phantom in here and because I'm using a phantom in here and because I'm using a phantom in this case I need a post signal to start this case I need a post signal to start this case I need a post signal to start it and a second pulse to stop it that's it and a second pulse to stop it that's it and a second pulse to stop it that's a characteristic of this camera there a characteristic of this camera there a characteristic of this camera there are other alternatives I could use with are other alternatives I could use with are other alternatives I could use with different cameras my pulse is 16 50th of different cameras my pulse is 16 50th of different cameras my pulse is 16 50th of a second long so I will generate a pulse a second long so I will generate a pulse a second long so I will generate a pulse and the camera will ramp up to speed and and the camera will ramp up to speed and and the camera will ramp up to speed and the camera I have put in here - it will the camera I have put in here - it will the camera I have put in here - it will run 10 ramp frames that allows me to run 10 ramp frames that allows me to run 10 ramp frames that allows me to time the camera being at speed I'm also time the camera being at speed I'm also time the camera being at speed I'm also going to take synchronization from my going to take synchronization from my going to take synchronization from my camera if I make sure that I am looking camera if I make sure that I am looking camera if I make sure that I am looking at my met work board as my short of my at my met work board as my short of my at my met work board as my short of my synchronization as I am on node one of synchronization as I am on node one of synchronization as I am on node one of this machine then my network board sync this machine then my network board sync this machine then my network board sync node one should be providing a sync node one should be providing a sync node one should be providing a sync pulse at the 25 frames a second at the pulse at the 25 frames a second at the pulse at the 25 frames a second at the camera runs that I can press the test camera runs that I can press the test camera runs that I can press the test socket here and lo and behold I am socket here and lo and behold I am socket here and lo and behold I am receiving sync pulses at 25 frames a receiving sync pulses at 25 frames a receiving sync pulses at 25 frames a second what I'm going to do now is I'm going to what I'm going to do now is I'm going to turn on film and video sync this means turn on film and video sync this means turn on film and video sync this means that when the camera runs I will receive that when the camera runs I will receive that when the camera runs I will receive synchronization I have a a window here synchronization I have a a window here synchronization I have a a window here I'm going to ship five frames to I'm going to ship five frames to I'm going to ship five frames to synchronize my move this allows me to synchronize my move this allows me to synchronize my move this allows me to take the synchronization pulse and feed take the synchronization pulse and feed take the synchronization pulse and feed it into flare and move the position in it into flare and move the position in it into flare and move the position in time of my move to lock to the camera in time of my move to lock to the camera in time of my move to lock to the camera in order for these things to work I have to order for these things to work I have to order for these things to work I have to save apply my changes and I have to be save apply my changes and I have to be save apply my changes and I have to be running in record so my camera is running in record so my camera is running in record so my camera is recording rather than in dummy and I recording rather than in dummy and I recording rather than in dummy and I have set up my external camera setups have set up my external camera setups have set up my external camera setups and see from those action setups to work and see from those action setups to work and see from those action setups to work with this move if I now run my move I with this move if I now run my move I with this move if I now run my move I should be able to shoot roll the camera should be able to shoot roll the camera should be able to shoot roll the camera synchronize to the camera shoot the move synchronize to the camera shoot the move synchronize to the camera shoot the move and stop the camera at the end here we and stop the camera at the end here we and stop the camera at the end here we go I'm going to turn the camera to dummy in I'm going to turn the camera to dummy in order to run back so I didn't record that pass and I so I didn't record that pass and I didn't try to synchronize again I'm didn't try to synchronize again I'm didn't try to synchronize again I'm turning on record and running it forward and this time again it should start the and this time again it should start the camera lock synchronization run the move camera lock synchronization run the move camera lock synchronization run the move and then stop the camera there we are that camera synchronization there we are that camera synchronization
