Configuring Quadro Sync II from the
command line
Windows ConfigureQsync command line tool
On Windows, the configuration may be done with the configureQsync command
line tool to ease configuration automation. The tool is downloaded from:
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/qsync-utility/
The output from 'configureQsync2.exe help' provides the full help output, but an
example command line for a simple configuration would be:
configureQsync2.exe enable server source=VSYNC display=0,0 display=1,0
This would enable a system to act as a timing server synchronized to the vertical
sync pulse of GPU0, with the display on GPU1 acting as the timing client.
Linux nvidia-settings command line tool
On Linux, the configuration can be done at the command line using the nvidia-
settings application that is installed with the driver. This tool can be used to query
the current state, change the settings, and enable and disable framelock.
To query the current state:
nvidia-settings –V all –q gpus
From the output of the above command, you can query the framelock
configuration for a particular display, e.g.:
nvidia-settings –q [dpy:6]/FramelockDisplayConfig
The FramelockDisplayConfig variable can then be set to 1 for a timing client or 2
for a timing server, e.g.:
nvidia-settings –a [dpy:6]/FramelockDisplayConfig=2
Then framelock is enabled with this command:
nvidia-settings –a [gpu:0]/FramelockEnable=1
