Method and device for synchronizing camera systems

The invention relates to a method and to a device for synchronizing the image capture by cameras. For this purpose, a duplex-capable network is provided. Within the network, one or more hardware-supported synchronization modules with a logical channel of a first type are provided, wherein the synchronization module or modules transmit, via the logical channel, image-capture signals that control the capture time of image sensors, wherein the image-capture signals are received by image-capture devices, and wherein the image-capture devices each capture an image as a response to the reception of an image-capture signal, and wherein the image data is then transmitted via the network by the image-capture devices via a logical channel of a second type.
