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.
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.
