    im Vertrieb von CAMBOARD Electronics Installation, cont’d External sync connections (wideband and video BMEs only) For NTSC/PAL/SECAM video, when the switcher switches between inputs, the resulting change in image should be seamless, or clean. The Matrix 12800 switcher can use an external signal to synchronize switching during the vertical interval. Without the external sync locking feature, switching between inputs can result in a brief rolling (sync loss) or a brief change in the picture size.
