8.2.2 RECORD TAB
FIGURE 99 (TC2 ELITE SHOWN)
Each MIX output source has a corresponding Record control group to provide settings and options for
capture. These important capabilities are discussed in full in Chapter 20, Record, Grab, and Replay. The
controls shown in Figure 99 are detailed in Section 20.1.2.
8.2.3 GENLOCK TAB
The Genlock feature allows your NewTek system to ‘lock’ i ts video output to a reference video signal supplied
to its Genlock input connector.
This synchronizes system video output to external equipment locked to the same reference. Genlocking is
not a
requirement , but it is very beneficial, and you should definitely use it if you have the capability.
Miniscule local timing differences between these may force tiny delays during switching operations, which
can contribute to throughput latency. Thus, serving i) the
Genlock input and ii) other video devices in the
chain with a single reference is the best approach.
