Does the Phoenixcard genlocks it's self?

We loose 16 frames in total, which is not acceptable.
we measured:
4-5 frames from connected phoenix source to CLM R10+ we should see this drop when we use the native resolution of the projector.

No DVI extenders, only a geffen spiltter

9-10 frames for the camerachain, which is outrageous, but that is because nothing is genlocked. It should be 1-2 frames...
we try to advise the company with a genlock plan.


testing testing....

thats nothing to do with genlock- (genlock is just a way of synchronising the frames on video equipment before digital signal processing was fast enough )

genlock doesnt do anything to this at all-

this is the digital video processing pipeline.

every single piece of digital video equipment - including imagepro projectors cameras catalyst and whatever else - has to buffer at least a frame- and possible many more

imagepros have quite big delays when in certain modes....

---

exactly what do you mean by 9-10 frames for the camera chain? - please detail every single piece of equipment including splitters.

( on a large rock show 9-10 frames is 1/3s which is a distance of 100m for sound - so usually 9-10 frames means the video is in sync with the sound at front of house! )
light and sound reach the audience at vastly different speeds and on large shows the sounds is only 'in sync' at a certain distance - and at no other- if it is in sync for the band playing - then its not in sync for anyone in the audience ....
