The CG-2000 is designed for the needs of broadcasting and post production, the CG-1800 for small to large-scale video\/audio synchronization systems, and the CG-1000 for recording studios, live sound applications and professional musicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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. Boasting a clock frequency precision of 0.01 ppm*1, which exceeds that of a TCXO (temperature-compensated crystal oscillator), this unit is key in the creation of high-precision synchronization systems - with word output frequency stability of ±0.005ppm or less per day.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eExternal clock jitter is reduced using an original TASCAM circuit design that incorporates a high-performance video clock generator engineered with a FPGA2 and a PLL (phase-locked loop) circuit with a discrete filter. This enables a stable clock signal to be provided to the video\/word outputs - improving system stability. The glitch-free relock circuit prevents noise and skipping sounds caused by master clock dropouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to (12) word clock outpuΩts and (4) video outputs, the digital outputs include (2) AES3\/AES11 and (2) S\/PDIF outputs, making this unit useful for large-scale audio\/video synchronization systems, and a wide variety of other applications. Of the (12) word outputs, two also support x2Fs, x4Fs and 256Fs output - enabling them to be used in systems with ProTools and other DAW software.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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 (for CG-2000 and CG-1800), and the measurement of input frequencies. These built-in features enable the devices to provide troubleshooting support. Additionally, a logging function enables issues to be listed, and saved to a CSV file format on a USB flash drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eSince crystal oscillators change over time, regular calibration is necessary. In order to avoid possible sync problems, timely inspections – along with regular maintenance is required. The CG Series has a self-correction function, enabling users to conduct maintenance using an external signal input*3 and simple operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eAmphenol BNC connectors on the chassis use nuts for coupling – making them very durable, Also, a single circuit board is used for each connector - providing excellent resistance to the twisting and pulling of cables, and the suppression of interference between connectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe CG Series is the latest in the line of innovative TASCAM professional digital products – engineered with the latest digital clocking technology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tascam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450294268007,"sku":"89526","price":2599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/tascam-cg-1800_89526_1_fe06fbf1-5827-44df-9e14-df08157ffae6.jpg?v=1787092492","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/tascam-cg-1800-video-sync-master-clock-gen","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
