Genlock — Live / timing / transport
A CueSeal platform · Edition 2026.1

Lock to a reference.

The enemy is drift; the deadline is now. Genlock locks every live-plane agent to the human gate, the way genlock locks every device to one authoritative timing reference. Corrective actions stay human-gated.

§01 · Coverage

What Genlock covers.

Timing

PTP (IEEE 1588) & ST 2059 — grandmasters, boundary/transparent clocks, BMCA.

Transport

ST 2110, NMOS & NDI transport, ST 2022-7 redundancy, multicast/QoS fabric.

Monitoring

Live monitoring and QC of the air path — correlating faults across all three planes.

reference — the human authority agents derive from locked — an agent within its gates holdover — graceful behavior when the reference is briefly unavailable
§02 · The wedge

Air-path QC & compliance.

A three-plane NOC/MCR copilot. It correlates decoded-frame QC (black / freeze / loudness / caption / SCTE) with RTCP stats, PTP offsets and NMOS events, clusters them, and surfaces the root cause with evidence — because a "black frame" is often a 2022-7 / PTP / IGMP fault, not a content fault. Failover, restart and reroute are human-gated.
