Synchronisation Providers, Vsync and frame accuracy

Genlock timecode and video input sync

Both a Sync provider and Time provider need to be set correctly to have a good output, it's always better that the time provider source is genlocked

Sync provider

The Sync provider are for the rendering of the frame

It tell SMODE when to start rendering a new frame and when to sent the result the output.
With a multiservers setup you need to use the GPU VSync VSync for video setup that use 1 GPU output minimum Read More with a Quadro card

Time Provider

The Time Provider allow every server animations to moves at the same speed and stays in sync. This is the Time reference for the transport of Timeline Timelines allow for easy playback, cutting, and editing of video layers, as well as animation of layers and their parameters, editable with the Timeline Editor.

By default, it is set to get the system clock source, but this can be changed to the Quadro Sync Time Provider The time provider that use the frame number provided by the frame lock of the Quadro Sync card Read More or to get Device Time Provider Synchronize animations on different servers with rendering clock sharing Read More as a reference timing.
