ARRI 416 User Manual

The external synchronization unit ESU-1 

a

 can be 

used with the ARRIFLEX 416 as well as with the 235, the 

435 models, 535, 535B and 16SR 3/Advanced. It allows 

the camera to be synchronised to other equipment such as 

TV monitors. By means of a BNC-socket, it is possible to 

synchronize to an external standard video signal (50/60 Hz) 

or, through an inductive pickup, to a CRT type monitor. 

The camera display shows “ESU” in the upper line. The 

ESU-1 can be used for frame rates from 3 to 60 fps.

The frame rate is indicated on the camera display in Mode 2. 

A phase shifter and a pilot tone generator have also been 

integrated into the external synchronization unit. The phase 

relationship of the synchronization is retained even when 

the camera is switched off.

See TECHN. INFORMATION “External Synchronization 

Unit ESU-1”.

•  To connect the ESU cable to the camera, the 235/416 

Accessory Expansion Cable KC-88-s has to be connected 

to the camera’s “REMOTE“ socket. The ESU cable is then 

connected to the accessory expansion cable. The RCU-1

expansion cable.
