Photographic apparatus and synchronous photography timing controller

在按照本发明的设备中，单一的同步摄影定时控制器以协调的方式向用于同步摄影的摄影机提供：外部时钟信号，用于控制摄影序列的进程；外部复位信号，用于复位摄影序列；以及外部触发信号，用于启动高速摄影。因此，在所提供的外部时钟信号之间以及外部复位信号之间保持了时间对应关系。外部复位信号复位各台摄影机的摄影序列，从而摄影序列也按照时间对应关系进行。由按照协调方式提供的外部触发信号启动的摄影机的高速摄影按照严格的时间对应关系进行。从而，对摄影机进行精确的同步，以进行高速摄影。 In an apparatus according to this invention, a single synchronous photography timing controller supplies cameras for synchronous photography, with an external clock signal for controlling progress of a photographic sequence, an external reset signal for resetting the photographic sequence, and an external trigger signal for starting high-speed photography, all in a coordinated manner. Consequently, a timewise corresponding relationship is maintained between the external clock signals and between the external reset signals being supplied. The external reset signals reset photographic sequences of the respective cameras, so that the photographic sequences also progress in a timewise corresponding relationship. The high-speed photography of the cameras started by the external trigger signals supplied in the coordinated manner progress in a strictly timewise corresponding relationship. Thus, the cameras are synchronized accurately to perform the high-speed photography.
