Description
The Evertz 5601MSC Master SPG/Clock is a professional-grade master sync pulse generator (SPG) and master clock system designed to provide precise timing and reference signals for broadcast, live production and post-production facilities. It ensures stable, accurate synchronization across video, audio and data equipment in complex broadcast infrastructures.
🔑 Key Features
🕒 High-Stability Reference & Clocking
-
Provides a master clock and sync pulse generation with exceptional stability using a temperature-controlled oscillator. › Frequency drift better than 1.0×10⁻⁸ (0.01 ppm).
-
Outputs include 10 MHz and 5 MHz frequency references and configurable sync signals for system timing.
📺 Sync & Timing Outputs
-
Six independently timeable reference outputs that can be programmed for bi-level (black burst) or tri-level sync signals.
-
Support for vertical interval time code (VITC) on selected outputs.
⏱️ Time Code & Protocol Support
-
Dual longitudinal time code (LTC) outputs and options for IRIG time code.
-
Can act as an NTP server for network-based time distribution
🔄 External Referencing Options
-
Can be referenced to external clocks (5 MHz/10 MHz), GPS/GLONASS receivers, or other high-stability sources to align multiple installations.
⚙️ Test Signal & Monitoring (with Options)
-
Integrated SDI and analog test pattern generator
🖥️ Control & Management
-
Front-panel display and controls for configuration.
-
Optional remote management via VistaLINK® (Evertz’s network control/monitor system)
