EVS Synapse GFS100 Installation And Operation Manual Download Page 15

The frame synchronizer works at best if the inputs are switched according the SMPTE
guidelines described in RP168.

This ensures that not only the picture but also the ancillary data remains correct. The frame
synchronizer however can handle complete asynchronous switching at the input.

To ensure correct operation the F-delay of the card needs to be 1 or higher so there is enough
time to mask the error.

Applications

GFS100-GFS110:

•

Transmission output frame synchronizer with backup input.

•

General purpose post-router autophaser.

GFS110 only:

•

Combining embedded audio channels of 2 inputs into 1.
