RED RANGER OPERATION GUIDE

GENLOCK

Generator locking (genlock) is a tri-level signal used to synchronize video and audio systems. Genlock is based on
SMPTE 296M and 274M. There are two (2) important genlock sync modes:
Monitor Sync
Sensor Sync
MONITOR SYNC
Monitor Sync occurs when an incoming genlock signal is compatible with the monitor output frequency. Monitor Sync
is achievable even if the camera is using another form of synchronization to sync the camera sensor.
1. Connect the GENLOCK port on the camera to the device using a 75 ohm BNC cable.
2. Set up the frequency for the HD-SDI output (select Auto to automatically match the HD-SDI output to the current
Project Time Base). For more information, go to
Monitor Sync is achieved automatically when an incoming genlock signal is compatible with the monitor output
frequency. When Monitor Sync is achieved, the GEN indicator illuminates green.
REQUIRED CABLE
75 ohm BNC cable (such as the RED HD-SDI Cable, P/N 790-0341)
