Together, the

Vert Position

Horiz Position

and

Phase

settings let you tweak synchronization to arrive at an

optimum match between devices. Typically, these settings are fine-tuned with the aid of a downstream
vectorscope and waveform monitor. (A discussion of these adjustments goes beyond the scope of this

manual, but a quick online search for the keywords “genlock” and “adjust” turns up a number of excellent

references).

EFERENCE

YPE

The ‘bi

level’ ref

erence signal long used for standard definition television is often used for genlocking both

SD and HD installations. However, the

HD (Tri-level)

reference sources are also supported by the

Reference

Type

settings option.

Notes: Reference Type options do not appear for SD sessions. Also note that 1080/59.94p Tri-level genlock
signals are not supported.

ENTER

REQUENCY

This setting is applied when a genlock reference signal is

not

in use. To adjust the setting, supply color bars

to an input and pass video output to a downstream vectorscope. The vectorscope display is completely
stable when

Center Frequency

is properly adjusted.
