Analog Synchronization

This operating mode is installed when the only timing information available from the camera is the composite video signal.

Consider a MultiCam channel owning such a camera. The timing unit controlling the channel automatically assumes the analog synchronization mode. This means that the timing unit extracts the synchronization out of the video signal supplied through the relevant camera connector.

The timing unit locks itself to the camera synchronization with a phase lock loop operating at the camera horizontal frequency.

A special care is taken to keep the phase jitter inherent to this operational mode at a minimum.

Analog synchronization

Domino Iota

The timing unit X is able to support the analog synchronization mode. This means that one analog-synchronized MultiCam channel can be enabled.

Domino Melody

The timing unit is able to support the analog synchronization mode. This means that one analog-synchronized MultiCam channel can be enabled.

Domino Alpha 2

The timing units X and Y are both able to support the analog synchronization mode. This means that up to two analog-synchronized MultiCam channel can be enabled.

Domino Harmony

The two timing units are both able to support the analog synchronization mode. This means that up to two analog-synchronized MultiCam channel can be enabled.
