The 5700MSC-IP is an IP network root leader clock, video sync and time code generator capable of being referenced to GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, BEIDOU and QZSS global navigation satellite constellations in L1 band with the included smart antenna, and additionally L1 and L5 bands with the optional MSC-RF-ADAPT-720 GNSS receiver and MSC-RF-HEAD-720 dual band multi-GNSS RF antenna.
This Evertz 5700MSC-IP-2PS includes a redundant power supply option.
The system features 2x 1GbE, 2x 10GbE ports, 6x independently configurable and fully timeable Sync outputs, 4x SDI video test generator outputs and a loop-through input. For hybrid plants where LTC outputs, DARS and AES/analog audio test generator signals are required. This combo IP network root leader clock and sync generator is ideal for timing today's SMPTE ST 2110 IP-based video broadcast, production and distribution facilities. It provides all the future timing needs of an IP-based plant while providing precision reference to baseband SDI/Analog facilities with full in-band management and remote access via SNMP or Telnet.
As for IP timing formats, the 5700MSC-IP has been designed to be enterprise class, with 4x independently configurable IP timing interfaces (2x 10GbE** and 2x 1GbE) for unmatched flexibility and robustness. The architect may now design fault-tolerant meshed timing systems capable of recovering from single points of network failure without resorting to failing over to a degraded root leader. PTP profiles include SMPTE 2059-2, AES67 and IEEE1588 Annex J. NTP is supported on all four IP timing interfaces as well as the dedicated control network interface. PCR is supported on 4x IP timing interfaces for workflows where required.
The 5700MSC-IP is delivered with a multi-GNSS smart antenna/receiver (GPS / GALILEO / BEIDOU / GLONASS / QZSS capable) complete with a 50ft cable for remote mounting (100ft, 200ft, 400ft, 800ft, 1200ft and fiber optic extension options are available for longer cable lengths).
A high stability, oven controlled oscillator provides the 5700MSC-IP with better than 1.0x10-8 (or 0.01ppm) frequency reference. The free running drift of this 10MHz reference will be less than 0.1Hz (which amounts to less than one millisecond time drift per day). This guarantees that any frequency drift, with time and temperature will be within the tolerances expected from the best Sync Pulse Generator clocks available in the industry.
The SPG section of the 5700MSC-IP provides 6x independent timeable reference outputs. These six sync outputs may be configured to provide independently timed color black (black burst) outputs, independently timed HDTV tri-level sync outputs, 10MHz outputs, word clock, and other bespoke continuous wave signals.
**Optional single-mode and multi-mode 10GbE SFPs not included.
