Submodule Installation
Install the 8900GEN-SM submodule on the circuit board of the host module
according to the steps given in the specific host module instruction manual.
If you will be using the frame buses, you will need to enable the specific
Frame Bus jumpers on each host module circuit board. The jumper
numbers and placement will depend on the GeckoFlex host module.

Genlock Loop BNCs on the corresponding host rear module. The Genlock
submodule must then be configured to one of the frame rates in the refer-
