8.2 Items Associated with the Adjust outputs group
This menu group allows adjustments to be made that specifically affect the output of
the unit, including output resolution and locking/overlaying onto a computer or video
source.
This menu item allows the lock mode to be selected and the lock source to be
defined. The top line of the display shows the current detected resolution of the
selected lock source (RGB1 in this example). The lock mode can be either Off,
Genlock or Lock & Mix, with the operation of these shown in the following table:
Lock mode Description
Off The output resolution of the Output is defined by the setting
for Output Resolution and there will be no background
source visible.
Genlock The output video will be “Genlocked” to the selected lock
source. The output signal will be synchronous to the input
sync and adjustable but there will still be no lock source
visible.
Lock & Mix The output video will be locked to the selected source, the
syncs will be locked (but with an additional internal video
processing delay) and the background for the output will be
that of the Lock source (unless foreground and background
are swapped).
Frm.lock* The frame rate of the output will be locked to the frame rate
of the input. This can only work if the output resolution
frame rate matches that of the lock source frame rate.
‘Frm.lock’ will flash until a highly stable lock has been
achieved.
*Only certain models support this.
In both Genlock and Lock & Mix modes the source selected for the lock input
determines the resolution of the Output image. The output resolution for the entire
image can be no different than the resolution of the lock source. All synchronization
signals are re-generated within the unit so they may look slightly different when
compared on an oscilloscope to the original source.
In Frame-lock mode, the output resolution is independent of the lock source, but the
frame-rate must match that of the source (e.g. 1280x1024 60Hz can be frame-locked
to 640x480 60Hz). Frame-lock is very useful for synchronizing a HD-SDI output (e.g.
1080i 59.94Hz) to a composite video source (e.g. NTSC), or for scaling one
resolution to another while avoiding any potential frame-rate conversion artifacts.
'H/V shift' can be used to align the output to the input more accurately, but this may
cause instability until the lock is re-acquired ('Frm.lock' will flash).
