Output / Master In this mode the genlock connector will become an output with
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

for genlock purposes.

Genlock is enabled and the lock was successful, but

This is not an error, just an information. If you do not want to
use crosslocking make sure that the supplied sync signal
matches the video mode.
