Precise Synchronization for

Demanding Applications

professional graphics cards to be used

in demanding applications that require

synchronization to external sources (Genlock)

or synchronization of 3D rendering of multiple

GPUs in different systems (Framelock).

attached GPUs to work together to address the users' rendering needs without compromising sync.

broadcast, non-linear editing (NLE)

and other video workflows

for simulation, visualization and

power walls

by delivering Output lock (synchronized

display output) that is driven by an external

reference signal (typically ‘house sync’). This

allows the output of attached GPUs to be fed

into video-centric devices (e.g. monitors used

in broadcast applications, or NLE suites).

S400 allows for receiving and synchronizing

to virtually any video input source, including:

> PAL & NTSC SD video blackburst

> HDTV tri-level sync

> TTL

> Sync signals on SDI

by combining Output lock (synchronized

display output) and 3D swap lock

(simultaneous 3D buffer swapping), ensuring

the GPUs in connected systems present their

outputs in lock-step.

The two RJ-45 connectors on the module

allow for connection of multiple daisy-chained

GPUs inside).

The BNC connector on the module optionally

allows systems to be synchronized

(Genlocked) to an external signal, a capability

essential for use in powerwalls used in live

television broadcasts.
