TView Pro AV
User's Manual Rev 2.01

Appendix C – Genlock
All versions of the Pro AV can Genlock to a black burst, or active video external reference signal. Our usage of the
word Genlock is the usage understood by professional Television Engineers. The Pro AV will lock Vertically,
Horizontally and in color phase to the external reference signal. All Overlay, Chroma-Key, mixing functions, etc.
must be accomplished by additional devices.
The suggested way to align Genlock is as follows:
Make sure that the Pro AV provides a properly aligned picture with respect to an ordinary television raster. (Since you
have control over Horizontal and Vertical Size and Position, all 4 of these parameters must be properly aligned with a
television raster before attempting Genlock).
Connect the Genlock reference signal into either one of the Genlock BNC connectors. Connect the other Genlock
connector to the next device that you want to provide Genlock reference to. If the TView Pro AV is the last device in the
configuration, select the Genlock Termination On from the Front Panel or RS-232/422 Communication. Otherwise,
make certain that you select Genlock Termination Off. The 2 Genlock connectors are directly connected with no
buffering.
Adjust the Genlock Horizontal Position (from the front panel or RS-232/422) for correct position of the converted video
signal at the mixing point.
Adjust the Genlock Color Phase (from the front panel or RS-232/422) for the correct color phase of the converted video
signal at the mixing point.
