CONNEXIONS

There is no standard connection for equipment remote control or for video links. However, the manufaturers have their own practices and the kapers too. These connections are shown as information only.

Warning: It is mandatory to always check in manuals these connections and to verify the functions; never input an electric tension in the shutter triggerring circuits. Be suspicious with new equipments with multiplexed commands, where a variation of impedance will action other functions.
