3. The default Reference Type in the Genlock settings is SD (Bi-level) , as this is by far the
most common reference signal type. However, if you supply an HD reference signal to
the Genlock input, change the setting to
HD (Tri-level) .
4. With the aid of downstream Waveform and Vector Scopes , adjust TriCaster’s Horizontal
and Vertical Position and Phase settings in the Genlock section of the I/O Configuration
panel.
Again, ideally both the cameras and the TriCaster should be genlocked. If they are not genlocked
to the same reference signal as the TriCaster output, a TBC (Time Base Correction) operation is
applied. Time Base Correction may drop or insert frames as necessary to maintain sync, hence it
is a less desirable approach.
Note: For a deeper explanation of genlocking, please see Section 8.1.5.
