Input AFL — This option lets you turn the Extron Accu-RATE Frame Lock (AFL) on and off. The default is Off.

When enabled, this mode locks the output vertical refresh rate to the vertical refresh rate of the currently selected input using Accu-RATE Frame Lock technology. This ensures no frames of the input are repeated or dropped due to frame rate conversion. Input AFL mode can cause glitches or interruptions in the output sync when a new input is selected, or when a new signal has been routed to the selected input, as the DSC locks to the new vertical refresh rate.

NOTE: AFL locks the output refresh rate to similar input rates. If the input signal is locked on a rate that is not considered a standard HDMI output or that is very different from the current output setting, the DSC may not output a signal. The image may not display or may blink.

If no input signal is detected (AFL disabled), or if locking to the input signal is not possible, a free running pixel clock is generated by the DSC.
