Software only instructions
The lightgun stores the cameraID to look for when you click “Start” in the software. When you switch the camera board to one with a different ID, you need to tell the lightgun to look for the new camera ID
Prepare the software
- Connect only the lightgun you are dealing with, to your PC.
- Open the Sinden Software and go to the "Configuration" tab
- Untick “Auto Detect Camera”.
- Untick "Auto Start Sinden Lightgun on Load".
- Tick "Show Raw camera feed".
- Now save settings
Select new ID
Select your new camera ID from the camera drop-down. EVEN if it is already selected. Click on the drop-down and re-select it.
Start your Lightgun
Click "Start", and the camera should start processing footage as normal
Burn camera ID to Lightgun
Click "Burn To Lightgun", right of the camera, and select drop-down.
- If it works, you should see a pop-up with the camera ID.
- If it is blank, it means it has not worked, and you need to repeat the process, making sure you select the cameraID in the drop-down.
Reverse software changes
Once you are happy with the ID that has been burnt to the lightgun and the new camera is working you can turn on the settings disabled earlier.
- Tick "Auto Detect Camera"
- Tick "AutoStart Sinden Lightgun on Load" (Optional)
- Return "Show Raw Video" to your preferred setting
- SAVE YOUR SETTINGS
