The Telestream SPG9000 Video Timing and Reference System offers a complete set of reference inputs and outputs, supporting a wide variety of system designs. This timing and reference generator includes a loop-through genlock input, 6 analog black/tri-level outputs, 4 LTC outputs, word clock output, DARS output, general-purpose interface, and management LAN interface, all the features of a complete sync pulse generator! All options are licensed so that they can be purchased with the base unit or any time later to upgrade the system. The SPG9000 has multiple options for setting the internal clock reference (frequency and time-of-day). It can lock to a received GNSS signal, to another PTP grandmaster, or to another sync generator or an external atomic clock using the analog genlock input.
Resilient to Interruption and Reliable for Continuous Operation
Resiliency and reliability are essential attributes for a timing reference generator since it is a mission-critical component for the video facility. The SPG9000 has a high-quality oven-controlled micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) oscillator for its internal clock. If the received GNSS signal or genlock input signal is temporarily lost, the SPG9000 will switch to holdover mode in which this clock maintains its time and phase from the previous lock.
Complete PTP Solution for Today's IP Video Networks
The SPG9000 includes an advanced implementation of the Precision Time Protocol, making it the ideal choice for a facility's timing and synchronization reference.
Powerful Test Signal Generator
Test signals are useful video and audio references that can be used to troubleshoot or verify performance of equipment and network links within the facility. The SPG9000 includes video, audio, and ancillary data generators for four multi-rate (up to 12G) SDI outputs and two 25 Gbps IP outputs.
Remote System Management and Monitoring
The SPG9000 includes several tools to facilitate easy integration with modern management systems and monitoring dashboards. In addition to the front panel display and keypad for local operation, the SPG9000 has a full-featured easy-to-use web-based interface for remote operation.
