If the camera is in motion and we wanted to stitch together the frames from all 4 imagers, would it be better to have them synchronized? If they weren't synchronized would the frames still match perfectly or would the offsets be noticeable?

In "free running" mode each sensor can have different WOI and so different FPS. You may find info on synchronization here: https://wiki.elphel.com/wiki/Trigger_393 The disadvantage of synchronized mode is in low-light conditions, because when operated in free running mode rolling-shutter sensors can have exposure up to frame readout period (14.5 fps full resolution), exposure and readout overlap. In triggered mode exposure and readout are not overlapped, so frame period can not be below exposure time plus readout time. Other than that in triggered mode all sensors have beginning of exposure at exactly the same moment (to microsecond precision), same applies to multiple 393 camera if they are connected with sync cables Andrey ---- On Wed, 08 May 2019 12:32:00 -0700 Mohamed Morsy <mmo...@redzone.com<mailto:mmo...@redzone.com>> wrote ---- Hello Oleg, I understand that when 4 imagers are connected to the 10393, they are not in sync by default. Do you know how out of sync they are? Also, is the lack of synchronization noticeable? If the cameras are in motion, will there be significant gaps between the different imagers' frames? If this is something you've tested please let me know.
