+Unsynchronized HDMI/SDI output
+------------------------------
+
+By default, whenever HDMI/SDI output is active, the output card will be the
 master clock; you cannot change it to any of the input cards. This also means
 that the frame rate you choose here will determine the frame rate for the
 stream.
 
+In Nageru 2.1.0 or newer, you can use the flag --output-card-unsynchronized
+to counteract this (there is currently no way to do it from the GUI).
+This is for if you want just a monitor output without synchronizing
+your entire stream chain to the output card (ie., you want to keep
+some other camera as the master). Sound support is untested, and is
+probably going to crackle a fair bit.
