A Frame Synchronizer removes jitter from an incoming analog source signal so your copies can appear better-looking than the original.
A device performing variable delay function from minimal up to one whole frame, for the purpose of Synchronization. Slight differences between the Frame Rate s of incoming and reference signals can usually be accommodated.
is hardware that recognizes the unique signal that indicates the beginning of a frame of data. A typical frame synchronizer "searches" for the code, "checks" the recurrence of the code in the same position for several frame periods, and then "locks" on the code.
A digital buffer that, by storage and comparison of sync information to a reference and timed release of video signals, can continuously adjust the signal for any timing errors.
A digital electronic device which synchronizes two or more video signals. The frame synchronizer uses one of its inputs as a reference and genlocks the other video signals to the reference’s sync and color burst signals. By delaying the other signals so that each line and field starts at the same time, two or more video images can be blended, wiped and otherwise processed together. (A TBC takes this a step further by synchronizing both signals to a stable reference, eliminating time base errors from both sources.)
A device which retimes an incoming video signal to a set reference such as genlock, bi-level or tri-level sync signals
A frame synchronizer is a device used in live television production to match the timing of an incoming video source to the timing of an existing video system. They are often used to "time in" consumer video equipment to a professional system but can be used to stabilize any video. The frame synchronizer essentially takes a picture of each frame of incoming video and then outputs it immediately with the correct synchronization signals to match an existing video system.
