The Logmar camera features a 8pin DIN Connector on its back that is used for external triggering but also features factory access to test signals such as PLL reference, ARM debugging, Analog references etc.

Here's an idea (don't do this at home since it will void warranty)

By bringing out the PLL REF signal from one camera and doing an internal modification (removing a 0603 resistor) on one or more slave cameras its possible to feed in that signal to them again via the same PLL REF pin and thereby achieve shutter synchronization between cameras.

So even though it's not made for it - it could be done but would void the warranty.
