LZX Status Update 6/25/2022

It has been a busy Summer for us here at LZX, with both R&D and our in house workshop! Here’s the state of all current projects at the end of this past week. During the last half of Q2, ESG3, DSG3, and TBC2 hardware units have been assembled, but waiting for a production f...

Using ESG3, TBC2, or Chromagnon in HD sync modes: Compatibility with earlier LZX modules and instruments

Here are some guidelines for using ESG3, TBC2, and Chromagnon with earlier generations of LZX modules and instruments: ESG3 has 15 different video sync modes. 2 of those modes are NTSC and PAL. ESG3 is fully backwards compatible with all previous LZX modules, because it retain...

ESG3 Sync Issue

Finally tested out my new ESG3 and I seem to be having a sync issue. Only tested NTSC thus far, but it doesn’t seem to work either generating its own sync nor taking sync from Visual Cortex. In both cases, I just get an erratically scrolling image via either YPbPr and/or compo...

ESG3 Trimmer Calibration

Here is a quick process to trim your ESG3 module if desired. If your module’s color balance looks good to you, don’t mess with it! The purpose of the trimmers is to adjust the input range so that a 0V to 1V input scale matches the scale of the black/white level clipping on ESG...

ESG3 Composite Video Output Issue

So when I filled up my new case and started it up, everything worked power-wise (yay!). However, I did find that my ESG3 was not outputting NTSC composite video that either the TBC2 or a digital monitor would display correctly. It was outputting something , but not something s...

ESG3 issue with the picture splitting in two when in 1080p 25fps

Hi! It’s me again… I’ve been trying to get my setup working with the new HD components and as usual the change doesn’t go without struggle. The TBC2, ESG3, BMD Desktop Video and Media Express are all set to capture/operate in 1080p 25fps and by setting it up like this the pict...

I don't have an HD signal with ESG3

Hello, I’m trying to send the image from my synthesizer using the ESG3 module in HD, but it’s not working, despite the video format switch being configured to 1010xxxx. The indicator light is yellow. I’m sending the signal through a Blackmagic Analog to SDI module, then to the...
