MULTIPLE CAMERA CONTROL SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An image capture system controlled by a trigger source, the image capture system comprising:
- one or more imaging devices each including a lens with an optical filter attachable thereto in axial alignment with an optical axis of the lens, a sensor, a link board interface, and a controller in communication with the sensor and connected to the link board interface;
one or more imaging array link boards each including a plurality of imaging device interfaces and a first link board interconnect, the link board interface of a first one of the one or more imaging devices being connected to a first one of the plurality of imaging device interfaces of a first one of the one or more imaging array link boards, and the first link board interconnect of the first one of the one or more imaging array link boards being connectible to a link board interconnect of another imaging array link board; and
a trigger source interface connected to and in communication with the trigger source and to the first one of the one or more imaging array link boards, a shutter activation command from the trigger source being transmitted to the first one of the one or more imaging devices to initiate an image capture procedure thereby.

Abstract
An image capture system controlled by a trigger source includes one or more imaging devices, each including a lens with an optical filter attachable thereto in axial alignment with an optical axis of the lens, a sensor, a link board interface, and a controller in communication with the sensor and connected to the link board interface. One or more imaging array link boards each includes a plurality of imaging device interfaces and a first link board interconnect. The link board interface is connected to the imaging device interface. The first link board interconnect is connectible to a link board interconnect of another imaging array link board. A shutter activation command from the trigger source is transmitted to the imaging devices to initiate an image capture procedure thereby.
