Important:

 Please note the following:

The RJ-45 connections are 

not

 ethernet connections.

The BNC connection should 

not

 be connected to a cable distribution system (or

equivalent).

4.2  Genlock

Genlock is an example case of output locking.
Genlock refers to the ability to synchronize the pixel scanning of a GPU’s display(s) to

a synchronization signal that is generated outside the computer that the GPU is in. This

ensures that video output sources from multiple video output devices (such as

workstations, cameras, or video recorders) are combined or switched properly.

Without proper synchronization, switching between sources may cause the picture

to jump or be lost momentarily while the receiving device tries to lock to a new signal.
