AMD FirePro S400 Synchronization Module

The single-slot form factor FirePro S400 Synchronization Module from AMD is able to sync between one and four compatible FirePro Graphics cards using genlock or Framelock. Genlock is common in broadcast video applications, and can be generated internally or come from an external “house” source via a BNC sync input. Framelook, meanwhile, is specific to computer graphics, combining output lock (synchronized display output) and 3D swap lock (simultaneous 3D buffer swapping) to ensure multiple GPUs in the connected systems present their outputs in lock-step. This is useful if images from multiple display outputs are being aggregated into one image. The card features dual RJ-45 ports so that daisy-chaining can be used to extend synchronization across multiple computers.
