8900GEN-SM GeckoFlex
Genlock Submodule
Introduction
The 8900GEN-SM GeckoFlex Genlock submodule is a versatile and pow-
erful timing solution that provides a configurable external reference for
individual modules or transmits two independent or redundant frame bus
references to the entire GeckoFlex frame. The submodule must be mounted
on a compatible host module in the GeckoFlex 8900 Series product line.
Positioning of the submodule on a host module in the frame determines
how the submodule is used as explained in this manual.
Each 8900GEN-SM supports:
• One of two independent Frame Buses for distributing genlock timing
references to any module in the frame,
• A frame reference redundancy configuration,
• A Local external reference to any single compatible GeckoFlex module,
• Reference input standard selections of NTSC, PAL, 1080i/720p 59.94,
1080i/720p 50, 1080p/sF 24, AES 48K, AES 96K, Word Clock 48K, and
Word Clock 96K.
• Remote control via a frame ethernet interface and a Newton Control
Panel.
