The 5700MSC-IP is an IP Network Grand Master Clock and a Video Master Sync Generator both referenced to GPS and/or GLONASS. The system features 2x GbE, 2x10GbE ports, 6x fully timeable sync outputs, 4x SDI outputs and a loop thru reference input. For those hyrbrid plants where LTC outputs and AES/analog audio test sets are required, an optional (+AUX) expansion module is available.
This combo IP Network Grand Master Clock and Master Sync Generator is ideal for timing today's 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 any baseband SDI/Analog systems.
The test generator option(s) provide several test sets which are available on the 4x SDI (SD/HD/3Gbps) outputs as well as over the 10GbE IP outputs (10GbE SFP's are optional). There are 10x independent test signal generators when a test generator option is ordered, any can be routed to the 10GbE outputs, or the SDI outputs ( 4 generators may be combined to form a 4K signal generator).
As for IP timing formats, the 5700MSC-IP has been designed to be enterprise class, handling all current IP timing needs with the horsepower to address the future. It supports NTP, PTP-IEEE1588, MASTER PCR, AES67 profile, and SMPTE 2059-2. IP networking for live production and broadcast environments have very specific needs and requirements that typically involve deterministic flows, high bandwidth, and an SDN-based network design. The 5700MSC-IP can be used to design a robust, safe and deterministic timing system for any IP Network or Hybrid IP/Baseband Video system. The product has been designed to handle timing requirements of several thousands of PTP clients. The 5700MSC-IP has 2x 10 GbE ports as well as two GbE ports that can be configured to provide and distribute any of the timing protocols described above.
This 5700MSC-IP is delivered with a GNSS head (GPS and GLONASS capable) complete with a 50ft cable for remote mounting (100ft, 400ft and fiber optic extension options are available for longer cable lengths).
