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.
