When you genlock a deck and a video or audio capture interface, one output of the
blackburst generator should be connected to the external sync input of the video or
audio deck, and another output should be connected to the external sync input of your
audio interface.
To connect your audio deck outputs to a third-party audio interface for
synchronized, genlocked audio capture:
1
Install a supported audio interface card in your computer, or connect a supported
audio interface.
For more information, see the documentation that came with the audio interface and
your computer.

If you are using a PCI card audio interface that came with a breakout box, connect the
breakout box to the PCI card using the included cable.
3
Connect the audio outputs of your audio device to the audio inputs of your audio
interface.
4
Connect the remote device control cable.

genlock or external sync input on your audio deck.
b
Connect another of the blackburst generator’s outputs to the genlock or external
sync connector on your video or audio capture interface (depending on which one
you are using to capture audio).
For more information, see “
