Sync and Connection Status for the Genlock Server

Sync Status

¾Receiving - Green indicates that a sync pulse is present.

¾House - Green indicates that a signal is present at the BNC connector

¾Timing - Indicates whether the timing is locked to the sync signal Green: The timing is locked to the house sync.

Grey: The timing is locked to the internal V-Sync.

Red: The display is not synchronized to the timing signal

¾Stereo - Always green indicates that it is in sync with a timing signal.

Port Status

¾Out/Out is the normal indicator for the server device.

¾In/In indicates that the system is not selected as a server or client and is not frame-lock enabled.

How To Set Up Frame

Lock

Set Up the Hardware

1.Daisy chain the graphics cards together using a standard CAT5 patch cable plugged into the external RJ45 connector.

You can connect to any of the two RJ45 connectors located on the G-Sync II card bracket.

Each connector automatically conﬁgures itself as an input or output after all the connections are made and one system is conﬁgured as a synchronization server. A ﬂashing green LED indicates an input and a ﬂashing yellow LED indicates an output. If there is no server assigned and connected, then both LEDs are a steady green.
