synchronized.
To use the shutter synchronization function, it is necessary to connect the projectors targeted for synchronization 
in a loop with daisy chain connection using the  terminal and the 
 terminal. For details of how to connect the projectors, refer to 
“Connecting example when using the contrast synchronization function/shutter synchronization function”
