DSMC 2 External Frame Trigger

[David Battistella]

Can anyone confirm that DSMC 2 frame triggering protocol has changed ? And maybe why it has changed? IE: my aaton handle works with DSMC but not on a Scarlet Dragon.

Strange.

Thanks,
David

It has changed indeed.

Depends on module. Base IO uses the old DSMC 1 method.

Yup. And V-lock module does not.

I discovered this a while back. It's mind boggling. I can't fathom why they would change this mid way through a body cycle. You have to have to have two sets of cables to work with the same damn camera system now.

Somewhat perplexing, but glad I know have a handle on what is going on.

Well a good thing with the new protocol is that it's super simple
Just short pin 1 and 2 of the sync-connector

OMOD uses a 3-pin Fischer.
