Camera Synchronization

[kevinthenerd]

I have a CMOS highspeed camera (Redlake Motionpro II, 10,000 fps) and a CCD color camera (NTSC) that I need to synchronize. I thought about using a photographic flash to mark a key frame, but that doesn't synchronize the start of the frame. Do you have any ideas? The problem with the CCD is that's it's an analog camera with a digital interface, so I think that makes it hard to start the frame... you can only start grabbing, that's it. (The CMOS is digital from the beginning.)

I know this is a hard question, but anything you know can help. Just try to keep the rodents with flour-based breakfast foods on their craniums out of the picture, ok?

Honestly, use the classic little "clapper board". That way you can synch the video or the audio.

There's no audio... just two video streams on two different cameras of two different technologies.
