Include a VESA Stereo source to genlock

Connect the VESA Stereo signal from a video source, such as a graphics card, which supports this feature, to the VESA Stereo In connector. (The following image shows the rear panel of a Lock Lab.)

Using the VESA Stereo signal to genlock the Vicon system offers benefits such as enabling you to eliminate optical interference between illuminating sources, for example, Vicon camera strobes and third-party devices within the system.

You can use your Vicon application software to phase-shift the time when the camera strobes turn on for each frame, with respect to the incoming VESA Stereo signal. This enables the strobe to be turned on at a different time from that of other potentially interfering sources. For example, you could offset the synchronizing pulse used by IR LCD shuttered glasses. For information on how to do this, search for VESA Offset in the online help of your Vicon application software.
