Genlock/AFL Offset Description

SDI Genlock (SDI models only) — This locks the output vertical refresh rate to the applied analog genlock input on the SDI models. In the SDI Genlock mode, the output resolution and refresh rate of the DVS 605 must be set to exactly match the applied analog genlock signal to ensure a true genlock to the applied SDI Genlock signal.

If the applied SDI Genlock signal does not exactly match the resolution and refresh rate of the DVS 605 output resolution, the DVS 605 will lock its output vertical refresh to that of the applied SDI reference (frame lock), which may result in more jitter.

If no SDI Genlock signal is detected, or if the detected SDI Genlock signal would result in a >165 MHz pixel clock, a free running pixel clock is generated by the DVS 605.

If either Genlock/AFL mode has been enabled, a conditional “Genlock/AFL Locked” “Genlock/AFL Not Locked” LCD menu will be added to the DVS 605 default menu cycle to indicate the current Genlock/AFL status. The Genlock/AFL status can also be queried via SIS command.

When using the SDI genlock, the output rate of the DVS 605 must be set to match the applied SDI genlock reference signal, for example 1080i at 59.94 Hz

NOTE: When the DVS 605 is set for input signal lock, a glitch in output sync may

be experienced when switching between inputs as the scaler locks to the input

reference.

If either genlock mode is enabled, but no genlock or reference input signal is being applied to the scaler, the DVS 605 defaults to an internally generated vertical refresh rate that matches the current output resolution setting.

Genlock/AFL can be enabled via the front panel menu system by using either of the Adjust knobs ([ {), to turn Genlock/AFL off, set to Input AFL signal, or set to SDI Genlock (where applicable).

When genlock/AFL is enabled a fourth default cycle menu appears.

This menu is only visible when genlock is enabled.

Genlock/AFL Offset Description

When used in a genlocked system, the DVS 605 can be adjusted +/- one frame of video on a per pixel basis, for perfect genlock alignment with the remainder of the system. This offset adjustment can help compensate for long cable runs, or delays generated by upstream equipment. The adjustment can be made using SIS commands, or found in the Output Config Menu, and is only available on –D or –AD models with SDI GENLOCK enabled, and locked to a reference signal.

NOTE: Adjustment of the genlock offset may result in a brief loss of genlock as the

DVS 605 applies the desired pixel/line offset with regard to the applied genlock

reference.
