(continued)
• Compatibility Status Indicator Shows compatibility of output format choice in regards to received input or
selected internal source.
• Genlock: (see below)
• Field Lock: (see below)
• Clock Lock: (see below)
• Incompatible: Indicates an output format selection that is
incompatible in respect to the received or selected internal source
(e.g., a PAL (50 Hz) output selection when using a 59.94 Hz-based
source).
Note: See Available Output Formats/Rates (p. 1-4) in Chapter 1,
“Introduction” for available formats for each input format supported and
other notes.
• Audio Output Format Select Selects audio output produced from received or internal base timing
source as follows:
• Off: AES output is muted.
• AES: AES/WC OUT BNC output produces an AES output.
Note: • See Table 1-2, “AES Audio Output Channel Status Data (p.
1-9)” in Chapter 1, “Introduction” for AES data
specifications for this output mode.
• Card jumper JP2 must be set to AES OUT position for this
output to work (this is not the default factory position). See
Setting Card Jumpers (p. 2-1) in Chapter 2, “Installation”
for more information.
• Word Clock: AES/WC OUT BNC output produces basic word clock
output.

Genlock
Source
Output
Output is synchronized with source
reference in both frame and field (where
applicable)
Field Lock
When an interlaced format is derived from a
progressive source, field lock is achieved.
However, timing does not reliably mark odd or
even field.
Clock Lock
Indicates a fixed relationship between the
source reference and output clock rates only;
but no relationship between source reference
and frame timing can be inferred.
