Model 5600MSC Master Clock/SPG Manual
OVERVIEW
Revision 1.6 Page 1-3
configuration and timing of the units are identical so that changeovers are done with minimal disruption
of the plant timing reference. Figure 1-1 shows a typical configuration for a redundant system. For
further information on connecting the 5600MSC in a dual redundant configuration consult the 5600ACO
manual.
Features:
• 6 independently timeable reference outputs
• Bi-level or Tri-level outputs selectable (can provide 3 tri-level HD sync. outputs and 3 black burst
outputs simultaneously)
• 2 Independent LTC Time Code outputs – can be operated at different frame rates and with different
offsets to the system time
• 5MHz/10MHz frequency reference input
• GPS option for frequency and time reference
• 10MHz frequency reference output
• Output frequency stability guaranteed better then 0.5 x 10
-8
(or 0.005ppm)
• Modem option for time reference dial up
• 2 GPS based units will be in time and phase even when remotely separated by miles
• Optional Analog and SD test generator output, with DARS and Analog audio tone outputs
• Optional HD SDI test generator outputs
• Optional Network Time Protocol Server (NTP) server support
• 16 digit Alpha-numeric display, with 20 pushbuttons
• Rack mountable
• Optional redundant power supply
• Automatic changeover unit available for dual redundant systems applications
• Audio word clock may be generated from DARS with 520DARS-W module
• 2 factory presets and 3 user presets
• VITC reader on reference input for time reference
• Ten Field Pulse is available on NTSC sync outputs.

1.2. DEFINITIONS
4:2:2: A commonly used term for a component digital video format. The details of the format
are specified in the ITU-R601 standard. The numerals 4:2:2 denote the ratio of the
sampling frequencies of the luminance channel to the two colour difference channels.
For every four luminance samples, there are two samples of each colour difference
channel.
4Fsc: A commonly used term for a composite digital video format. The details of the format
are specified in the ITU-R601 standard. The numerals 4Fsc denote that the sampling
