VERTICAL POSITION, HORIZONTAL POSITION AND PHASE
Locking all devices to house sync is important, but this alone does not actually ensure a perfect
downstream match.
Consider an army marching along: each step the soldiers take occurs at precisely the same
moment, so we could say their timing is synchronized. Even so, problems result if one soldier
leads with the left foot while everyone else is on the right. Or perhaps everyone is evenly spaced
and perfectly aligned but for one misfit who ‘tailgates’ the soldier ahead of him and keeps
stepping on his heels.
This is essentially why TriCaster provides several adjustments in its Genlock section. The
Horizontal and Vertical Position settings pin the image in the proper space in the frame, and in
doing so could be likened to making sure each marching soldier is in position relative to his
fellows (as viewed from above). The
Phase setting ensures proper color alignment,
corresponding to making sure everyone is on the left or right foot at the same time.

Thus, the Vert Position , Horiz Position and Phase settings allow you to tweak synchronization to
arrive at an optimum match between devices. Typically, these settings are fine tuned with the
aid of a downstream Vectorscope and Waveform Monitor.
