a tri- level sync signal.
The output mode depends on the current video mode and can
be changed at any time.
Note: The genlock output does not have a strong driver
strength. It is made for testing purposes only. It works
good for short cables and can be used to simply
connecting two cameras. We recommend to use external
tri-level syn signals for genlock purposes.

The camera will re-lock as soon as the
input signal is valid. Locking can also be
triggered by changing the video mode or
genlock settings.

9.4 genlock_crosslock <enable> <vmode>
In the default operational mode the camera locks to a tri-level sync signal that matches the
cameras current video mode. Using the crosslock option the camera can also lock to other
input signals. This is valid for both video channels.
Note: It is generally possible for the camera to crosslock on a tri-level sync signal of any of
the supported video modes, but keep in mind that locking to frequencies that are not equal
or half the output frequency will result in an undefined behavior, that means it is not
deterministic where the lock will take place.
The
<enable>
parameter controls the crosslock mode:

Crosslocking is disabled, camera will lock to a
genlock signal that matches the current video mode.
1
PAL
The camera will crosslock to a PAL Black & Burst
signal.
2
NTSC
The camera will crosslock to a NTSC signal.
3
Other HD Mode The camera will crosslock to genlock signal that
matches a different video mode. The other mode
has to be specified using the vmode parameter.
