Tascam CG-2000 Master Clock Generator

The CG-2000 video sync and master clock generator is designed for the needs of broadcasting and post production. The crystal oscillator is the heart of the clock generator. In each model of the CG Series, an OCXO (oven-controlled crystal oscillator) is used for its high precision, and the fact it is not influenced by the temperature of the environment. The CG-2000 is equipped with an external input connector that supports a 10MHz signal. This allows it to be connected to a rubidium clock or GPS clock for even higher precision. The CG Series has multiple functions to support maintenance, and the identification of issues if problems occur. The analyzer function measures output device termination, input level measurement and the measurement of input frequencies. a logging function enables issues to be listed, and saved to a CSV file format on a USB flash drive.The CG Series is the latest in the line of innovative TASCAM professional digital productsengineered with the latest digital clocking technology.

Features:

• Two power supply circuits for redundancy [CG-2000 only].
• Supports video reference/word clock redundancy [CG-2000 only].
• Internal clock uses a high-precision OCXO (oven-controlled crystal oscillator) that is not influenced by the temperature of the environment.
• External input connector that supports 10MHz, allowing creation of systems with even higher precision.
• Jitter management circuit provides stable clock.
• Glitch-free relocking circuit prevents noise and skipping during clock dropouts and recovery.
• Numerous output connectors, including (12) word clock outputs.
• Supports input and output of a variety of video signal formats, including NTSC, PAL and HD Tri-level.
• AES3 and AES11 signals can also be used.
• Analyzer function that can measure output device termination.
• Optimal levels can be provided to other devices by adjusting wordclock output levels.
• Error status can be outputted using GPO parallel output, allowing the monitoring of error occurrence.
• Self-calibration function using an external oscillator (Atomic/GPS 10MHz, GPS PPS)
  Use of the self-calibration function requires the use of a separate PPS-output 10MHz oscillator with a built-in GPS antenna.
• Word clock performance up to 192 kHz.
• 0.1% pull-up/down for 24F(Film) and 29.97F(NTSC), and 4% pull-up/down for 24F(Film) and 25F(PAL).
• Up to (4) system settings can be saved to buttons.
• Durable nut-coupling BNC connectors made by Amphenol.
• Independent circuit boards for each connector prevents contact failures due to twisting.
• Three-prong IEC power cable included.
• Panel-lock switch can be used to prevent inadvertent changes to unit operation.
• 128x64-pixel organic EL display with a wide viewing angle.
• Firmware updates possible using the USB port.
• EIA 1U rack mount size.
• RoHS-compliant product.
