How get multiple PC connections using one PC jack?

Hi everyone,


I'm slowly getting into lighting and I'm trying to minimize my costs. I have a second flash I just ordered. My IST DL has what appears to be a PC/miniphone connection on it, is there a way I can split that signal into 2 or more connections, as I would an audio cable?

Thanks

you can get a pc y cable that splits pc signal into two but the ist DL afaik doesnt have a pc sync port, it has a port for a remote control, not to trigger flashes. so you would need a hot shot to pc sync adapter for that.

Thanks, Andreas. You're right. I remember reading that in the instruction manual.

Ok, so about those y-cables for pc connections - what are they called?

I wasn't sure whether splitting the signal was feasible, since I didn't know whether power was being transmitted or what...

What goes through those cables?

I just use this two port cold shoe on the K10D, US $9.95.

Thank you
Russell
