This section describes the device presets and the detailed setting of preview devices. The setting items differ depending on the hardware products you use. The following explains the items that can be set with the Grass Valley hardware products.
Configuring Sync Settings synchronizes the monitor output device used for capturing with Grass Valley hardware products.
[Sync Mode]
|
Select a sync signal from [REF Input Sync] and [Input Sync]. [NO SIGNAL]/[SIGNAL OK] indicates whether a reference signal which can be synchronized with the current output video format is detected. If the reference signal is not detected ([NO SIGNAL]), the sync system will be automatically switched to internal sync. When [REF Input Sync] is selected, if the output format is HD, STORM 3G ELITE/STORM 3G can be synchronized via the signals of both [Tri-Level] (tri-level sync) and [BB] (Black Burst). If one of the signals is detected, the box for the corresponding signal ([Tri-Level] or [BB]) will light in green. If the output format is SD, only [BB] is available. [Tri-Level HD H-shift]
Input a horizontal-shift adjustment value for the tri-level sync signal during HD output. [BB HD H-shift]
Input a horizontal-shift adjustment value for the BB signal during HD output. [SD H-shift]
Input a horizontal-shift adjustment value for the BB signal during SD output. |
