Important Notice About Input Specifications

The GDK200 does not have a built-in frame synchronizer. Therefore it is up to the system engineer to
synchronize the inputs before feeding them to the keyer card. All inputs have to fall within the following
specifications:

1080p

1000 pixels (6.756 µs) in front of or behind the reference (which is fed to the GDK card via the rack
controller).

1080i

1000 pixels (13.5 µs) in front of or behind the reference (which is fed to the GDK card via the rack
controller).
