The clock is a very important component of Channel Recorder. If no clock is present Channel Recorder might fail in performing scheduled, loop or frame accurate recordings. There are four sources of resolution: input, genlock, configuration and internal.

For clock type GENLOCK, the priority is given in the following order:

• Input

• Genlock

• Configuration

• Internal

For clock type INPUT, the priority is given in the following order:

• Input

• Configuration

Important points to remember are:

• The resolution from the configuration is only used when there is no input or genlock signal detected.

• Internal resolution is only relevant when the following is true:

  • There is another application using Matrox board.

  • The application in question is using a different frame rate family.

• Clock type INPUT is the simplest and should be used unless there is a compelling reason not to use it.
