Genlock is the practice of synchronizing the video output of one device to a reference
source signal, thus ensuring flicker-free video transmission across multiple input and output
devices. The DX-700 provides a number of genlock options:
•
You can lock a single output (or group) to the same signal as the bank’s genlock
source, or to a different source, or set it to freerun at a specified freerun rate. The
default setting locks an output to the bank’s sync source.
•
You can synchronize an entire bank’s signal to the master genlock source for the
system, or a different source, or set it to freerun at a specified freerun rate.
•
You can lock the entire DX-700 to a single internal or external signal, or set the
DX-700 to freerun at a specified freerun rate.
•
You can set individual outputs or output groups on different banks to the same
sync source.
This section explains these options in the following topics:

The
=Bank Sync Menu enables you to select the source to which the LED and monitor
outputs in a bank are genlocked. Three different methods are available:
•
When Freerun is selected, the bank is locked to its own internal timing generator
— and not to an external source. In this mode, the system is not synchronous
with other equipment in your video system, but you can set the refresh rate.
•
When Input is selected, the bank is locked to a specific input on a selected input
module. In this mode, the system is synchronous with external equipment.
•
When Master Sync is selected, the bank is locked to the master sync source.
You use the Master Sync Menu to set the master sync source.
Important
Video processing delay through the DX-700 is affected by the
selected genlock mode, the type of input, and the selected
delay mode. In Chapter 1, refer to the “
