Tips

For larger installations, use the GEN10 as a master sync source and distribute its signal to multiple devices directly or via a distribution amplifier. When integrating with existing systems, connect an external reference to the genlock input and adjust phase as needed. The DIP switches allow you to quickly change output formats without a computer, making it ideal for on-the-fly adjustments in live environments.
