3.8 CONFIGURE GENLOCK
1. Click the Genlock/Multiview tab in the Output Configuration panel.
2. The default Reference Type in the Genlock settings group is SD (Bi-level), as this is
currently the most common reference signal type. However, if you supply an HD
reference signal to the Genlock input, you may want to change the setting to HD (Tri-
level).

3. With the aid of downstream Waveform and Vector Scopes, adjust 3Play’s Horizontal and
Vertical Position and Phase settings.
Again, ideally the cameras themselves as well as 3Play should be genlocked. If cameras are not
genlocked to the same reference signal as 3Play, a TBC (Time Base Correction) operation is
automatically applied. Time base correction may drop or insert frames as necessary to maintain
sync, a less desirable approach.
Note: For a deeper explanation of genlocking, please see Section 7.1.3.
