27 NVIDIA Fr ame S ynchronization Under Linux This section describes how to set up frame synchronization under Lin ux. It contains the following sections: Using the nvidia-settings Utility How T o Set.
28 Using the nvidia-set tings Utility Con fi gure frame lock and genlock using the nvidia-settings utility . After booting the system starting X Windows , r un nvidia-settings as follows: % nvidia-se.
29 Set Up the Hardware Start the system, then connect the exter nal source signal to the House Sync connector (BNC) of the Quadro G-Sync II option card.
30 Set Up the Software Basic Genlock Setup Go to the nvidia-settings frame loc k panel. Click Add Devices , then add the X Ser ver that contains the displa y and G-Sync II cards that you w ant to sync to this exter nal source. An X Ser ver is typically speci fi ed in the for mat: system:m F or example: mycomputer.
31 The G-Sync section shows the status of the sync signals for the X ser ver After connecting the house sync , the exter nal sync signal frequency is displayed in the section Rate . The Receiving, Timing, Stereo , and House indicators should be g reen.
32 Ou t g o in g Sy n c In te rv a l v a l ue o f 1 H ous e s i gnal Sy nc Pul s e This action overrides any refresh rate that you may ha ve selected from the refresh rate list.
33 Nor mally , the software automatically detects the signal type that is being used. If necessar y , you can force the software to detect the signal type as follows: Click Detect to force detection of the signal type. The software tests each signal type and stops when it detects a matc h.

50 NVIDIA Quadro G-Sync II User Guide The following are the basic steps: Open a display connection to eac h X Screen you want to control in your frame loc k cluster . Make sure y ou have pri vileges to establish the X connection. Quer y the NV_CTRL_FRAMELOCK attribute to deter mine if frame lock is supported on each X screen.
51 During operation, you can also query any of these on eac h X screen: NV_CTRL_FRAMELOCK_PORT0_STATUS NV_CTRL_FRAMELOCK_PORT1_STATUS NV_CTRL_FRAMELOCK_HOUSE_STATUS NV_CTRL_FRAMELOCK_SYNC_READY NV_CTR.
52 Querying the Frame Lock Capabilities of a S ystem Quer y the number of Quadro G-Sync II devices on the system by passing NV_CTRL_TARGET_TYPE_FRAMELOCK to XNVCTRLQueryTargetCount() . Quer y the Quadros attached to each Quadro G-Sync II device b y quer ying the NV_CTRL_GPUS_USING_FRAMELOCK attribute for each Quadro G-Sync II device.
53 Set NV_CTRL_FRAMELOCK_SYNC_INTERVAL as appropriate if you are using a house sync . Most likely , you want 0. Enabling/Disabling Frame Lock Enable frame lock on eac h Quadro by setting NV_CTRL_FRAMELOCK_ SYNC to NV_CTRL_FRAMELOCK_SYNC_ENABLE .

55 Using the OpenGL Extensions This chapter explains how to use the OpenGL extensions supported by the NVIDIA driv er for accomplishing frame synchronization of applications .
56 Fr ame Synchronization Using the OpenGL Extensions Swap sync refers to the sync hronization of buffer sw aps of m ultiple application windows . By means of swap sync , applications r unning on multiple systems can sync hronize the application buffer swaps between all the systems .
57 Buffer S wap Criteria The criteria for buffer swaps inv olves when a window is ready to sw ap and when a g roup is ready to swap . Window Buffer S waps Any rendering surface that is not a window—.
58 Frame Counter The implementation provides a univ ersal counter, or frame counter , among all systems that are lock ed tog ether by sw ap g roups/bar riers. It is based on the internal synchronization signal which trig gers the buffer swap . T o obtain the cur rent frame count, call wglQueryFrameCountNV(),glxQueryFrameCountNV()().
59 Con fi guring Swap Barriers Y ou can bind a g roup to a bar rier . T here is a maximum n umber of barriers that can be created. With the cur rent hardware , the maximum number of bar riers is one.
60 wglJoinSw apGroupNV(), glxJoinSwapGroupNV() This call adds the OpenGL window with the device context hDC to the swap group speci fi ed by group. If hDC is already a member of a different g roup , it is implicitly remo ved from that group fi rst.
61 wglQuerySw apGroupNV(), glxQuerySw apGroupNV() This call retur ns the swap group number and bar rier number to which the device context is bound. Function B00L QuerySwapGroupNV (HDC hDC, GLuint *group, GLuint *barrier); Parameters In hDC - Device context for the frame lock card, or a window residing on the frame lock card.
62 wglQueryFr ameCountNV(),glxQueryFrameCount NV() Quer yFrameCountNV returns in count the cur rent frame counter for swapGroup . This call retur ns the cur rent frame count of the sw ap g roup .
