Does SDI carry genlock?

Genlock also is not embedded with SDI so it requires a second discrete cable.

When would you use a genlock?

Genlock is used to sync video signal or pixels to an external synchronisation source whereas framelock is used to sync the frame rate of a video source to an external synchronisation source.

How do you create a multi-camera sequence?

To use the Create Multi-camera Source Sequence dialog box, select your clips or bin from the Project panel. Then, right-click (Windows) or Ctrl-click (Mac OS) the selected clips and choose Create Multi-camera Source Sequence from the context menu.

How do I sync a multicam sequence?

Right click on the selected clips and select “Create Multi-Camera Source Sequence”. A dialog box will appear. You will have the option to name your new Multicam Sequence. Click on the Timecode button under the Synchronize Point options and click OK.

What is genlock vs timecode?

The Timecode Systems UltraSync Ones get rejammed twice per second via 865 MHz to 923 MHz Worldwide ISM bands. Each camera gets an UltraSync One that outputs timecode and Genlock keeps the camera perfectly in sync with everything else on set.

How does crystal sync work?

More convenient yet is crystal sync, whereby the speed of both cameras and recorders is controlled through the use of the oscillation of crystals installed in each piece of equipment. The most advanced system uses a time-code generator to emit numbers in “real-time” on both film and tape.

Is Tri-Level Sync analog or digital?

Tri-level sync is an analogue video synchronization pulse primarily used for the locking of high-definition video signals (genlock).

What is genlock and sync?

Genlock synchronises the cameras. It uses the pulse that generates the frames within the camera as the synchronisation point. This pulse sends a signal telling each device to capture frames at exactly the same time, creating an incredibly accurate way to align multiple sources of video content.

What is genlock technology?

Genlocks, generator locking, is the technique is used to synchronize video signals, coming out of a signal generator or similar source, to the other picture resources. Genlock technology is widely used in video applications as it has the potential to mix video images and computer graphics.

Is genlock the best way to go?

Although genlock is the PREFERRED way to go, I’ve found that a lot of digital equipment is ~close enough~ (heck, I’ve shot a music video with playback from a CD boombox and a constant speed (not crystal controlled) camera motor and it was SPOT ON.

What hardware is supported by Framelock and genlock?

The following is a list of supported hardware by framelock and genlock: Quadro G-Sync II, along with the Quadro FX 4600, Quadro FX 5600, Quadro FX 4800, Quadro FX 5800, Quadro 5000. Quadro Plex 1000 (Model: I, II and IV) along with the Quadro Plex 2200 D2, or Quadro Plex 7000.

What is genlock and how do I use it with Tessera?

This helps to display video content at the correct frame rate with the minimum latency and avoids frame drops or doubling due to inadvertently using the wrong genlock source. Alternatively, you can use Genlock to lock multiple Tessera LED processors together for completely seamless shows with no tearing.
