Chapter 6: Genlock
Genlock provides a method for ensuring that multiple ES9600 players can operate with synchronous timing on
each of their outputs. Thus the first frame of video is decoded across all the players that make up the ‘genlocked’
system at the same time.
ESGEN Genlock Mode
The ES9600 supports proprietary ESGEN genlock. This is a proprietary feature that provides a high level of
timing synchronization and allows non-standard frame rate synchronization:
 ES Genlock – works with most ES products
 ES MS9200 Genlock – unique to the 9200 series HD Player
The Player can operate as a ‘master’ or a ‘slave’ depending on the system configuration:
 ‘Master’ - Sets the 9600 to transmit both proprietary ESGEN and ES MS9200 signals simultaneously
from the ESGEN output connector (Din) on the back panel.
 ‘Slave’ - The ES9600 will receive either ES Genlock or ES MS9200 Genlock.
NOTE: Master, ES-Genlock, and MS9200 Genlock are only applicable for Electrosonic products.
Access the Genlock settings from either the front panel:
Or the online interface:
This mode can also be set from a control application such as ESCAN.
