Configuring the Driver for Genlock
1. Connect the external timing source to the Genlock In port (BNC connector) on the workstation
you’ve identified as the “Master.”
2. Click the desktop with your right mouse button (or left-click if you’ve changed your default mouse
setup) to access the Display Control Panel.
3. Select Properties from the menu that appears.
4. Choose the Settings tab.
5. Click the Advanced button and then select the 3Dlabs tab.
6. Click the Displays icon on the left, then click “Advanced.”
7. Under the “Genlocking/Multiview” tab (default tab) click the check box beside “Enable
Genlocking.” This enables the synchronization of a display device's refresh cycle to some other
device, such as a video recorder or additional display devices. The frequency of the Genlock
Signal will appear in the box above.
8. Choose the appropriate signal source from the Source Select pull-down menu. This selection
tells the Multiview card what type of signal to expect.
9. Click the check box beside “Disable BNC Termination“ if this Multiview is NOT the last card in an
array of Multiview cards using the external Genlock signal or if external termination is being used
for the Genlock signal cable. Checking this box prevents the graphics adapter from terminating
the BNC cable connection at this workstation, allowing you to create a chain of genlocked
workstations. For a single external signal source to the Multiview card, point-to-point connection,
leave this box unchecked.
10. Choose the appropriate signal edge configuration from the Edge Select pull-down menu for the
external signal source being used.
11. Configure the Pulse Count, Line Offset, and Pixel Offset appropriate for your application and
hardware setup to achieve proper display refresh synchronization across all systems. Click
Apply.
NOTE: Some monitors require custom timing file entries for
Genlock to be properly maintained. Please refer to the
documentation delivered with your monitor for further
information.
