GENLOCK
Generator locking (genlock) is a tri-level signal used to synchronize video and audio systems. Genlock is based on SMPTE
296M and 274M. There are two (2) important genlock sync modes:
Monitor Sync
Sensor Sync
MONITOR SYNC
Monitor Sync occurs when an incoming genlock signal is compatible with the monitor output frequency. Monitor Sync is
achievable even if the camera is using another form of synchronization to sync the camera sensor.
1. Use a BNC cable to connect the GENLOCK port on the camera to genlock device.
2. Set up the frequency for the HD-SDI output (select Auto to automatically match the HD-SDI output to the current Project
Time Base). For more information, go to
"Frequency" on page 59
.
Monitor Sync is achieved automatically when an incoming genlock signal is compatible with the monitor output
frequency. When Monitor Sync is achieved, the GEN indicator illuminates green.
