The Wildcat Realizm Multiview Option Kit enables the Multiview and Genlock features of your Wildcat
Realizm graphics accelerator.
The Multiview feature allows you to run the same application on multiple workstations and treat the
multiple displays as a single "virtual canvas" such that they all refresh as one.
Genlock enables you to lock one or more graphics cards to some external synchronization source such
as a studio sync (the cards may be housed in a single workstation or distributed across multiple
workstations).
NOTE: Your Wildcat Realizm graphics adapter must specifically
support the Wildcat Realizm Multiview option. Visit
www.3dlabs.com
to confirm your Wildcat Realizm graphics
adapter Multiview support capability.
The Genlock signal formats supported are:
NTSC Composite Video
PAL Composite Video
HDTV
TTL, LVTTL, or CMOS level compatible periodic signal (50Hz - 180Hz) with a minimum low or
high pulse width of 100ns
The Genlock features supported are:
Genlock to vertical sync from an NTSC, PAL, or HDTV signal
Genlock to field sync from an NTSC, PAL, or HDTV signal
Genlock to a TTL signal
Genlock to either the rising, falling, or both edges of the input signal
Genlock to every 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, or 6th input signal
Delay the genlock signal to align to the external source
IMPORTANT: Your application must support Multiview for Multiview
to work. Refer to your application documentation for using
Multiview and Genlock.
Setting up Multiview
Once the Multiview Option Kit is properly installed in all systems in the array (see your Multiview
Installation Guide for installation instructions), you may then begin linking the system(s) together. The
Wildcat Realizm driver software automatically determines the Master or Slave status of the workstation by
the Multiview port connections.
