Framelock

Framelock – Synchronization of Video Streams Across Multiple Display Devices

When video content is displayed on multiple screens, it is crucial that all screens show the frames simultaneously.

Framelock helps create a virtual canvas where the continuity of the image is maintained across all screens. This involves the use of hardware devices.

The Pixera media server, equipped with a Genlock port (External Sync) for incoming sync pulses and Ethernet ports for Framelock, allows for the synchronization of multiple server GPUs through daisy-chaining.

Synchronization can occur both within a single GPU and across multiple GPUs.

The following GPUs have built-in Framelock capabilities:

  • Quadro/A/ADA series for NVIDIA
  • FirePro/Radeon Pro series for AMD

For combining multiple GPUs in one or several PCs, synchronization cards are used:

  • Quadro Sync for NVIDIA
  • FirePro S400 for AMD

One synchronization card can connect up to 4 GPUs in a single PC and can also send the sync signal to the next synchronization card via UTP.

These cards can also receive a Genlock sync pulse through a BNC connector.
