7. Plug one end of a BNC sync cable into the Avid Equinox Break-Out-Box’s
Genlock Input and the other into the house sync.
Using Internal Sync
Using internal sync lets you capture and play back video without the benefit of
having a house sync signal. During capture, the Avid Equinox Break-Out-Box
takes its sync signal from the SDI video signal. During ouput to tape, the VTR
also accepts the sync signal from the SDI video signal.
To use internal sync for capture and playback
1. Remove the connection between the house sync and your VTR, as well as
the connection between the house sync and Avid Equinox Break-Out-Box.
2. If your VTR has a Servo Reference option, set it to Automatic.
