Until very recently, frame sync’ing wirelessly has just been a pipe dream. Most digital high speed cameras have cables for sync’ing,…

High speed cameras are often synchonised, (aka genlocked, framelocked) together. All but the most basic cameras include the ability to input or output a sync signal for this purpose. Creating movies with frames captured at exactly the same instant has many uses, including: Accurate motion analysis of an event with cameras at multiple viewing positions…
