Video Timing Synchronization

Updated March 16, 2023 17:56

You can use the following external devices to synchronize a video signal with a central timing reference (Color Black, Tri-Level sync). You can genlock a decoder video output with production systems that do not offer automatic input frame synchronization.

Note: Resi offers a decoder model that supports reference-input, which can provide timed video output from the decoder natively.

I/Os include SD/HD/3G SDI input and output, HDMI output, and 2-channel RCA style audio output. A reference input allows the UDC to be locked to a local reference. Learn more
