Ptp

Parameters for PTP time synchronization.

When all participating cameras are synchronized via PTP, the Trigger command can trigger the cameras at the same time in software trigger mode.

Cameras can serve as a PTP master when they can reach each other over the network (e.g. when they are connected to the same network switch). Alternatively you can set up your own PTP master and make it reachable from all cameras.
