.edge - Advanced -> Synchronization

The Synchronization parameters define the sync reference options for the processing blade.

Operation (using HOME)

From the main page you can set the sync reference (via Mode Select) and video format for the reference output (connected to REF OUT on the rear I/O plate).

The PTP sub-pages become relevant if Mode Select is set to PTP.
The Output Reference H/V Offset sub-page can be used to prepare offsets for the reference output (as described below).

If a parameter's value can be edited, then a data entry method is provided. Otherwise, the field is for information only. How to edit the values is described here.

Synchronization

The table below describes all available parameters on the main page.

Advanced (tree path)	Parameter	Possible Values	Description
Synchronization	Status Summary	Read-only	Shows Locked when the processing blade is locked to the selected timing source.
	Mode Select	- External Ref#1 - External Ref#2 - PTP - FreeRun	Defines the sync reference for the processing blade. For more information about each option, see .edge - Synchronization.
	PTP	Read-only	Shows Locked if the blade is receiving a valid PTP signal from the network.
	External Sync#1	Read-only	Shows Locked if there is a valid sync signal connected to the REF 1 IN (on the rear I/O plate).
	External Sync#2	Read-only	Shows Locked if there is a valid sync signal connected to the REF 2 IN (on the rear I/O plate).
	Ext Reference Format	Read-only	If the Mode Select field is set to one of the external Sync inputs, then this field shows the format of the incoming signal.
	Reference Output Format	Various	Defines the video format used for the Reference Output signal (REF OUT on the rear I/O plate).
	Pixel/Horizontal Offset	Numerical entry	Adds a horizontal offset (in pixels) to the Reference Output signal (REF OUT on the rear I/O plate). The offset is applied to the video format selected in the Reference Output Format field.
	Line/Vertical Offset	Numerical entry	Adds a vertical offset (in lines) to the Reference Output signal (REF OUT on the rear I/O plate). The offset is applied to the video format selected in the Reference Output Format field.

PTP

The PTP sub-pages define the PTP parameters for the processing blade. They become relevant if the sync reference (Mode Select option) is set to PTP.

For more information, please see .edge - PTP Configuration.

Output Reference H/V Offset

This sub-page lists all of the available reference formats that can be generated by the .edge blade. You can use it to add offsets to each individual video format.

Please note: The quickest way to offset the current Reference Output signal is to use the Offset fields on the main Synchronization page. The Output Reference H/V Offset sub pages can be used if you wish to prepare different offsets for different formats.

Advanced (tree path)	Parameter	Possible Values	Description
Synchronization → Output Reference H/V Offset → video format	Pixel/Horizontal Offset	Numerical entry	Adds a horizontal offset (in pixels) to the video format. The offset is applied to the Reference Output signal (REF OUT on the rear I/O plate) once the format is selected as the Reference Output Format (on the main Synchronization page).
	Line/Vertical Offset	Numerical entry	Adds a vertical offset (in lines) to the video format. The offset is applied to the Reference Output signal (REF OUT on the rear I/O plate) once the format is selected as the Reference Output Format (on the main Synchronization page).
