Pandoras Box User Forum

Hi everyone,

I saw that since Rev 11903 it is possible to sync SDI live inputs put is it possible to synchronize DVI inputs?
We have a project coming up where a lot of live inputs will be displayed potentially side by side on large LED screens. Is it possible to sync the DVI live inputs?

Thank you.

Hi P.
this feature is only available with Dual and Quad 3g SDI Input Card.
Current Pandoras Box Server hardware can be customized with DVI or SDI input cards. For the SDI input cards this revision offers the possibility to synchronize genlocked input feeds with the same resolution and framerate. This is of interest for a "mask-and-fill" setup or for creating a larger format like a 4K texture. For a Dual SDI card, you can synchronize both feeds from the same card. For a QUAD SDI card, you can synchronize two pairs (the first two and the last two) and for the QUAD 3G SDI card, you can in addition synchronize all four inputs.
To synchronize two or four inputs: Pandoras Box Master > Assets tab > choose the Client with the card and open its "Live Input" folder. Drag all feeds into the Project tab, select them there and make a right-click to choose to synchronize them.
To create a 4K input texture: Pandoras Box Master > Assets tab > choose the Client with the card and open its "Live Input" folder. Drag only the first feed into the Project tab, and there, right-click it to choose to toggle into 4K mode.
Note: The icon of the Live Input in the Project tab will change if the synchronized or 4K mode is activated.
Important: The coolux input card driver installer includes a new version 5.16. 5.16 is only mandatory when you like to use the new SDI input features. There is no need to update, when you like to use the SDI inputs the way you used to.
