Restarting A Visualization Cluster; Quadro Sync Ii Ttl Sync Generator Output; Configure For Bnc Output - Nvidia Quadro Sync II User Manual

4. During the synchronization process, the displays may blink as they adjust their
timing. A confirmation dialog window will appear that must be acknowledged to
accept the new synchronization settings; otherwise, the settings will be reverted.
The Status LEDs on the Quadro Sync II card and in the System Topology Viewer in
the Control Panel report the state of the synchronization (see the LED
information below).
Disable Framelock by reversing the process.

Restarting a Visualization Cluster

Like configuration, a cluster should be re-started in the following order to minimize
the synchronization time:
1. Restart the Timing Server.
2. Wait till the Timing Server is back up and outputting the signal as indicated by
the LEDs or the Nvidia Control Panel. (Refer to Table 2 Framelock LED Status)
3. Restart all the client machines.
Depending on the configuration, it can take many minutes for a cluster to fully
synchronize

Quadro Sync II TTL Sync Generator Output

The Quadro Sync II card supports the generation of TTL Sync output using the
onboard BNC connector. The output is locked to the framelock signal generated by
the Quadro Sync II card.
The rate of the output signal will be that of the display selected as the timing
server. The output can be used to synchronize compatible third-party equipment
using a TTL sync signal but note that the output signal is a short duty cycle signal
(for example, only ~200 ns duration for a 60 Hz signal).

Configure for BNC Output

1. Open the NVIDIA Control Panel and follow the same steps as in the Windows
Driver Configuration above
2. After the Synchronize Displays step, click the Server Settings button
3. Click the radio button The server refresh rate with BNC output enabled.
