5700MSC-IP
IP Network Grand Master Clock & Video Master Clock System
Revision 0.2 Page - 5
VistaLINK® Pro. Contact Evertz customer service if a MIB to the 5700MSC-IP is required. Note that
the Frame port should be used as the primary management interface.
If syslog event monitoring (requires syslog server, which is not included) is desired, the syslog server
address must be configured, and syslog level 1 or syslog level 2 must be enabled. Select the
GENERAL menu and press ESC to return to the root menu. Scroll down to EngineeringMenu and
press SELECT. A password is required to enable the engineering menu items. Press SELECT on
Password and use the and buttons or control knob to enter each digit of the numeric password
and then press SELECT. The default password is 5700. The Syslog IP Address and Syslog Enable
menu should now be accessible.
1.1.4. Selecting and Connecting the Frequency References
Pressing the INPUT button on the front panel will select the input menu. From here the frequency and
time references of the unit can be configured. Use the control knob to select the Frequency Ref menu
item and press SELECT or depress the knob. The Reference Src menu item selects six different ways
the 5700MSC-IP can lock its master oscillator.
• GNSS Mobile – The 5700MSC-IP will look for a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)
antenna attached to the GPS port on the back of the unit. This mode is intended for applications
where the location of the GNSS antenna is movable such as mobile production trucks. Start-up
time before receiving data is optimized assuming the location may have changed from the
previous time.
• GNSS Fixed – The 5700MSC-IP will look for a GNSS antenna attached to the GPS port on the
back of the unit. This mode is intended for applications where the location of the GNSS antenna
is fixed. Start-up time before receiving data will be longer the first time the unit is first powered
up as the antenna determines the fixed location. Subsequent start-up times will be shorter as
the unit assumes the location has not changed from the previous time.
The GPS Enable and GLONASS Enable menu items in the Engineering Menu control
whether the receiver will lock to satellites from the GPS and/or GLONASS Global
Navigation Satellite Systems.
With either the GNSS Mobile or GNSS Fixed menu choices, the ovenized oscillator inside the
5700MSC-IP will lock to the 1PPS pulse from the GNSS antenna. This provides a very
accurate frequency reference to the unit. The high precision time and date provided by the
GNSS antenna is used to phase the outputs of the 5700MSC-IP by referencing them to a
specific point in GNSS time. Multiple 5700MSC-IP units locked to GNSS will all have the same
phase on their outputs. This also means the time reference will be forced to GNSS.
• Ten MHz – The 5700MSC-IP will look for a 5MHz or 10MHz reference on its reference loop
input, frame reference 1, or frame reference 2. The 5MHz/10MHz reference should come from a
source that has higher stability than the internal oscillator of the 5700MSC-IP such as a
Rubidium or Caesium frequency standard. A 5MHz or 10MHz reference does not provide any
phase information and the phase of the outputs will not be the same between different
5700MSC-IP units.
• Video – The 5700MSC-IP will genlock to an analog black burst or HD tri-level reference applied
to its reference loop input, frame reference 1, or frame reference 2. The frequency stability of
