The VIEW is able to synchronize with most motion control systems for shoot-move-shoot functionality. In addition it has full motion programming support for the Dynamic Perception NMX stepper controller (via Bluetooth or USB) and Syrp Genie Mini (via Bluetooth), with support for the eMotimo Spectrum (via AUX2 serial) and Kessler Second Shooter (likely) planned for the near future.
To trigger a motion system to move after each shot, connect a 2.5mm TRS cable from AUX2 on the VIEW to the sync input on the motion system. The VIEW will send a 200ms “closed” pulse (with default settings) after the completion of each shot. No special setup is required on the VIEW. The motion system needs to support an external intervalometer input, and usually needs to be in a special mode (e.g., “slave” mode for the NMX, “external intervalometer” for eMotimo TB3).
The pulse parameters can be adjusted in Settings->Motion Equipment->AUX2 Sync Setup:- Pulse Length: default 100ms, the length of time for the pulse sent after each completed exposure during the time-lapse- Invert Pulse: default No. No means the pulse is represented as a closed connection between the tip and ground for the duration of the pulse length, and is normally open. Yes means it’s normally closed and the pulse is an open connection for the duration of the pulse length.
This is the most versatile option and should work with any system that has a camera trigger for shoot-move-shoot. This is the only option for systems that don’t support an external auxiliary sync (like the Syrp Genie). In this mode, the interval is defined externally by the motion system, and the VIEW works inline between the motion system and the camera to handle the exposure.
To use an external trigger, set the Interval Mode to ‘External AUX2’ in the time-lapse setup menu. Connect the motion system’s camera port to the VIEW’s AUX2 port with a 2.5mm TRS cable (TRRS won’t work). The camera is connected to the VIEW’s USB port as usual. Once started, the VIEW will then wait for the signal from the motion system to trigger each frame.
With this configuration, the VIEW handles the exposure and ramping, and the motion and interval is defined by the motion system. Since the VIEW is not controlling the interval, a variable interval is not possible.
