Restoring an Unstable Display
If your display becomes unstable and you want to restore it to its original configuration,
do one or more of the following:
• Click Restore Defaults and then click Apply.
• Disconnect the external house sync.
Synchronizing to the External House Signal
This section describes other steps you may need to take after connecting a house sync
signal for the first time, or after clicking Restore Defaults and then Apply.
Matching the External House Signal Frequency
After connecting the house sync, the external sync signal frequency is displayed in the
section Incoming Rate in the control panel.
• If the rate that you previously selected from the list is different, then locate the
matching frequency from the list and click Apply.
• If the rate is not listed, but the listed values are within 0.5 Hz of the actual signal, then
enter the frequency directly into the list box and click Apply.
Adjusting for Interlaced External House Signals
If the external signal is an interlaced signal, then check the Sync to field 1 check box and
click Apply.
Generating a Sync Frequency Slower than the External House
Signal
If the external sync frequency is not support by your display because it is too high, you
can use the external house signal to generate a sync signal of a reduced frequency by
sampling the external signal.
