Frame synchronisation is the process of synchronising display pixel scanning to a synchronisation source. When several systems are connected, a sync signal is fed from a master system to the other systems in the network, and the displays are synchronised with each other.
NVIDIA frame synchronising technology involves two main processes:
Frame lock synchronises applications across multiple displays or windows. Frame lock allows the display channels from multiple workstations to be synchronised, thus creating one large "virtual display" that can be driven by a multisystem cluster for performance scalability.
Genlock (also known as "house sync") synchronises one or more systems to a common sync source. Genlock allows the graphics output to be synchronised to an external source, typically for film and broadcast video applications.
The following NVIDIA products support frame synchronisation:
