3.2.8. NTSC Genlock with Ten-field Reference
Figure 3-7: Lock Diagram #2 – NTSC Reference with Ten-field Reference
When an NTSC reference is applied that carries a ten-field reference pulse in the vertical blanking
interval (VBI) as specified in SMPTE ST 318, the phase locking ability of the 5700MSC-IP is
enhanced. The ten-field reference provides 5 frames worth of phasing information that allows
deterministic locking of 23.98Hz standards, the 6/1.001Hz pulse, and DARS/AES signals. These
outputs can be guaranteed to be the same phase between multiple units. The color frame sequence of
the NTSC reference is also decoded and used for phasing NTSC sync outputs. Note that the lock
diagram above (Figure 3-7) now shows a span of 5 frames instead of 2 frames for regular NTSC lock
(Figure 3-6).
