Sync and Connection Status for the Server

Sync Status

¾Receiving - Green indicates that a sync pulse is present.

¾Timing - Indicates whether the timing is locked to the sync signal Grey: The timing is locked to the internal V-Sync.

¾Stereo - Always green indicates that it is in sync with a timing signal.

Port Status

¾Out/Out is the normal indicator for the server device.

¾In/In indicates that the system is not selected as a server or client and is not frame-lock enabled.

Sync and Connection Status for the Client

Sync Status

¾Receiving - Green indicates that a sync pulse is present.

¾Timing - Indicates whether the timing is locked to the sync signal Green: The timing is locked to the signal on the frame lock conector.

Red: Either no signal on the frame lock connector is detected, or the lock to the signal has been lost

¾Stereo - Steady green indicates that the client’s stereo timing is locked to the server’s stereo signal.

Port Status

¾Out/Out is the normal indicator for the server device.

¾In/In indicates that the system is not selected as a server or client and is not frame-lock enabled.

Swap Sync

The application controls synchronization of buffer swaps (swap sync) between applications. Proper connection and synchronization of the timing signal are required for proper synchronization of buffer swaps.
