Auto Timing
Profile PRO Series
45
Auto Timing
Auto-timing mode automatically times the video input signal to the internal
reference (system timing) provided the video input is synchronous and timed
within the auto-timing window. If auto-timing is enabled and the signal is able
to be timed into the system, the Auto Timed indicator at the top of the video
input dialog box is turned on.
If you want to use the disk recorder as a switcher and/or have the output video
correctly timed when in E to E mode, the input video must be locked to the
reference and properly timed to the disk recorder. To aid in the timing setup, all
video inputs have auto-timing circuits which time the input video to the internal
timing reference as long as the input video is within the auto-timing sync
window:
±
2 lines for the latest boards (from -0.5 to +3.5), and
±
1 lines for all
others.
The auto-timing circuit is always trying to lock to the signal. If you try to auto
time a signal outside of the window, the video signal appears to be broken-up
as it cannot be timed into the system. If the input drifts out of range, it is retimed
as soon as it drops back into range. The disk recorder can use untimed signals
if auto-timing is not enabled, but they are not timed correctly and may cause
jumping and skipping when switching between playout and E to E mode.
NOTE: If you select auto-timing for an input signal and it cannot
auto time with the genlock reference signal, the input signal is not
recorded accurately. If you must record an input that cannot lock,
disable auto timing and then record. There may be problems if you
are operating in E to E mode, but the clip plays back correctly timed.
If auto-timing is enabled, and the signal is able to be timed into the system, the
Auto Timed indicator is turned on. Also, for serial digital component input,
Line 1 can still be adjusted, but Line 2 is always equal to Line 1 + 14.
