Fellow Graphics Nuts:
I have an issue here at NASA with our Onyx2. We have to use a TBC (Time
Base Corrector) to re-synch our video NTSC output to a "robotic vision
system" which is used on the Space Shuttle, and which we stimulate in the
Shuttle Mission Simulator and Space Station Training Facility--in other
words we use our image generator to create a NTSC video which stimulates the
real Robotic Vision System.
We have to use a TBC in order to get these two devices to synch up and
provide overlays out to the crew stations. The customer is worried that the
TBC is introducing another frame of latency into our system. I am not
familiar enough with the functioning of a TBC to know if this is true or
not.
Does anyone out there have some experience with using TBC's to synch up
Onyx2's, and do they insert another frame of latency into our image
generator?
THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH!
