timecodegenlock
Timecodegenlock is the coordinated use of timecode and genlock signals to synchronize multiple video devices in a production or post‑production workflow. Timecode provides a precise, continuous timestamp for each frame or audio sample, while genlock supplies a common video reference clock so devices lock to the same timing grid and maintain phase alignment.
Implementation typically designates a timecode master or timecode generator that also distributes a genlock reference to
Uses include enabling frame‑accurate switching and recording in multi‑camera broadcasts, synchronized ingest for editing and VFX
Standards and considerations: timecode follows SMPTE/EBU conventions, with LTC or VITC formats; genlock relies on a
