Today i bought 3 GSE-PS 1 units (got them very cheap, last minute)

After looking a little closer to em, i saw that they got these big plugs for camera input.

But the text sais i can connect standard consumer cameras and sync them. How can i convert from standard cynch to these plugs?
Or doesn`t that work, because these cams can be synced themselfes from the outside??
:confused:

Any ideas?

It was a last-second ebay offer. Didn`t think to much about it. :rolleyes:

- I found one of these boxes together with a old video mixer in another ebay offer some time ago.

It was written there, that you need this box to sync the cams - I thought to myself if i can sync video signal with it (kinda TBC?) its cool, then can build my own simple video mixer, or I can fade several cam inputs that run into my capture device etc.

If it doesn`t work: Still got 3 stable 12 V power supplys for 10,50 ?, and i can never have enough of em :cool:



I just got the fear that:

4 (tally and clock) (reset in)

means there is an external clock for the cams - and my consumer cam doesn`t have this feature.
But i will see when i get em.

If it works, its a good and cheap alternative instead of a small video mixer for anybody that uses it only for fading between 2 sources.
