Conﬁguring Frame Sync

Using the nvidia-settings

Command Line

You can also conﬁgure frame lock using the nvidia-settingscommand line. This method is useful in a scripted environment for automating the setup process.

General Steps

1.Disable frame lock on all Quadros.

2.Make sure all display devices that are to be frame-locked have the same refresh rate.

3.Conﬁgure which Quadro/display device is to be the master.

4.Conﬁgure the house sync (if applicable).

5.Conﬁgure the slave display devices.

6.Enable frame lock on the master Quadro.

7.Enable frame lock on the slave Quadros.

8.Test the hardware connections using the test signal on the master Quadro.

Sample Conﬁgurations

Use the examples in this section as a guideline. The exact scripts that you use will depend on your hardware conﬁguration.
