9081 PRODUCT MANUAL

9081-OM (V4.6)

DashBoard™ shows
Framesync Status error
message in 9081 Framesync
function submenu screen.

Specified Minimum Latency
Frames setting exceeds 9081
card buffer space for the
selected output video format

Reduce the Minimum Latency Frames setting
as specified in the error message to correct
the error.

Note:

Due to card memory limits, the maximum

available Minimum Latency Frames is
related to the output video format
selected.

For example, with a 1080i 5994 output,
the maximum setting is 5. For a 1080i film
(2398) output, the maximum setting is 3
(due to the increased buffer space needed
for the slower frame rate). Conversely,
greater maximum settings are allowed for
SD formats such as 525i 5994, where the
practical maximum limit is 13.

Video/audio synchronization or
delay noted.

Source synchronization
condition

Use the Audio Offset from Video control to
compensate for video/audio delay.

Refer to Framesync function submenu tab on
page 3-13 for more information.

Incompatible negative H/V
delay value user setting of
Vertical Delay or Hoeizontal
Delay controls

Negative vertical or horizontal delay values
(using the controls below) should not be used
when using Input Video mode. To add an
offset in this case, instead apply a positive
value that results in the desired net offset.
