NVIDIA Frame Synchronization Under Linux

Set Up the Hardware

1.Start the system, then connect the external source signal to the House Sync connector (BNC) of the Quadro G-Sync II option card.

The Quadro G-Sync II supports the following external synchronization signal types:

TTL (3.3 volt level)

Composite Bi-level (NTSC or PAL sources use bi-level composite signals)

Composite Tri-level (HDTV sources commonly use tri-level composite signals)

2.Check the LED on the connector panel.

A green LED means the hardware has detected the timing signal, and you can proceed to the next step

An occasional red ﬂash is OK.

A red LED means the hardware can’t detect the timing signal.

Check the signal source and correct the problem before proceeding.
