source, giving consistent and repeatable delay. If the video output frame rate differs from the 
genlock source frame rate, the output will 'clock lock' to the genlock source. Clock lock 
ensures that the output audio 48kHz clock remains locked to the genlock source. 

When attempting to pass non-PCM audio (other than Dolby-E), ensure that Genlock is 
enabled. If using an external reference, it must be clock-locked to the input video.

Timecode

The Timecode menu enables you to set up and control the unit's timecode options for VITC 
(Vertical Interval Timecode), LTC (Linear Timecode), and ATC (Ancillary Timecode). In the HD 
domain, both Embedded VITC and Embedded LTC are supported. In the SD domain, VITC, 
ATC LTC, and ATC VITC are supported.

When present, timecode can be handed over from the input or internally generated. Where 
the input frame rate is 29.97 fps, both drop frame and non-drop frame modes are supported. 
For 29.97fps outputs, timecode can be configured as either drop frame or non-drop frame.

Genlock source

Reference

 (default): locks to the incoming reference.

Input

: Locks output to input. When input and output frame 

rates are integer related, selecting 

Input

 will force the unit to a 

fixed processing delay.

Free run

: locks the output video to an internal reference 

clock.

Reference status

Shows the status of the currently assigned reference. For example, if 
genlock is assigned to input, status shows 

Input

 followed by the 

current status of the input. If there is no signal on the assigned 
reference, status shows 

REF Loss

.

Mode status

Reports - Selected lock mode: Output format: lock status (

)

V timing

Adjusts the vertical timing of the output signal with respect to the 
reference signal, from line -563 to line 562 in steps of 1 line.

Default = 0 lines

H timing

Adjusts the horizontal timing of the output signal with respect to the 
reference signal, from pixel -2640 to pixel 2640 in steps of 1 pixel.

Default = 0 pixels

Note:

Genlock timing adjustments will take effect only when the Genlock source is set to
