Sync

In sync-critical applications, the media player can use one of two possible external sync signals, Genlock or Lock, in addition to the always-available Linear Time Code (LTC), to synchronize itself with other devices within a larger system. The media player can generate two of the sync signals to other devices.

NOTES: Use only one of the Genlock and Lock sync types (items D and E) available.

Ensure that the resolution and frame rate of the applied genlock or lock input signal matches the resolution and frame rate of the clip to be played.

D Genlock Input connector — Connect an external genlock signal to this

GENLOCK

 

BNC connector for genlocking the video signal in broadcast or other sync-critical

 

NTSC, PAL, or HDTV tri-level applications.

 

Use a tee connector or distribution amplifier to connect any downstream equipment that requires genlocking.

Snap one of the included ferrite beads on this cable, as close to the unit as practicable.

E Lock Input and Output connectors —

LOCK

 

NOTES: The Lock connectors support ES genlock and MS 9200 genlock,

IN

 

which are proprietary sync signals that are native to Electrosonic®

OUT

products that have been acquired by Extron and to older

 

Electrosonic products.

 

These connectors are present on all units but only JMP 9600 2K

 

units support ES genlock and MS genlock.

 

When using ES genlock or MS genlock, the video signal resolution and frame rate must match on all players.

Lock Input connector — Connect an external ES genlock or MS genlock sync signal to this 6-pin mini-DIN connector for the media player to function as a sync slave of another device.

Lock Output connector — Connect any downstream equipment that requires an

ES genlock sync signal to this 6-pin mini-DIN connector to either route the external sync signal throughout the system or for the media player to function as a sync master.

Snap one of the included ferrite beads on each Lock cable, as close to the unit as possible.

FLTC (Linear Time Code) Input and Output connectors —

LTC

LTC Input connector — Connect an external LTC sync signal to this RCA connector for the media player to function as a sync slave of another device.

IN

OUT

LTC Output connector — Connect any downstream equipment that requires

an LTC sync signal to this RCA BNC connector to either route the external sync signal throughout the system or for the media player to function as a sync master.

Snap one of the included ferrite beads on each LTC cable, as close to the unit as possible.
