Tri-level sync is an analogue video synchronization pulse primarily used for the locking of high-definition video signals (genlock).

It is preferred in HD environments over black and burst, as timing jitter is reduced due to the nature of its higher frequency. It also benefits from having no DC content, as the pulses are in both polarities.^[1]
