Page 29: Notes On Timing Modes
Notes on Timing Modes This section briefly summarizes the Timing Modes available on the ADC-8733A. Line Delay (ADC-8733A and ADC-8733A) This mode uses the input timing signal to generate the output timing. There is a constant delay between the input and the output. The reference is not used. This is useful in applications where a constant delay through the card is required. -
Page 30: Frame Delay (Adc-8733A-S Only)
Frame Delay (ADC-8733A-S only) The Frame Delay mode is identical to the Line Delay mode, except that the output timing can be delayed by up to a full frame of video. By using almost a full frame of delay, it is possible to set apparent negative timing, making it look like the output occurs before the input. -
