  • 1.  GENLOCK Crossover Solo 12 - Guidance

    Posted 05-10-2020 15:45

    We have the Crossover Solo 12. We have 6 cameras but only 1 has Genlock.

    The Solo 12 only has 4 FSFC internal channels - so I can get 4 to work but what about the other two?

     

    Can someone give me instructions on how I can sync these cameras with the Crossover?

    I'm a newbie - so please don't assume anything. :-)

     

    Thanks for any help you can give.

    Well you can Genlock the one camera then.  FSFC 4 of the others and then you will have to look for a standalone device that can take Genlock and then do an Inline Frame Sync of the 6th Camera.

     

    Something like an AJA FS-MINI which is a standalone Frame Sync that will accept the Genlock from the Crossover.

    Thank you.

    I went ahead and purchased the Blackmagic Design BMD-CONVMUDCSTD/HD Mini Converter. It has Reference In and it was several hundred dollars less than the AJA.

    If I have any trouble with it, I'll let you know!

    Do let me know that it works :)

    I could not find anything that directly states it will work as a Frame Sync......Though doing Frame Rate conversion and Format conversion with a Ref Input definitely implies that.
