    SPGs or master clocks available in the industry. The 5601MSC may also be referenced to an external 5MHz or 10MHz master oscillator if higher stability is required. Both the SPG and the Master Clock sections may be referenced to high stability time and frequency standards present in the Global Position System (GPS) by adding the GP option.
  • Page 16 SDI test signal generators, each with two outputs. The HDTG option adds high definition support. The 3GTG option adds Dual Link, 3G Level A and Level B support along with 3D test signals. All versions of the 5601MSC offer a COM port for software upgrades. An optional redundant power supply is also available.

  • Page 17: Figure 1-2: Redundant Master Clock/Spg With Auto Changeover System Diagram

    The ACO provides relay changeover for all outputs from both 5601MSC units with the exception of the LTC XLR outputs. A syncro link through the 5601ACO2 guarantees that the configuration and timing of the units are identical so that changeovers are done with minimal disruption of the plant timing reference.

    Video – The 5601MSC will genlock to a black burst or HD tri-level reference applied to its reference loop input. The frequency stability of the 5601MSC will be only as good as that of the reference input. The phase of the outputs will be aligned to that of the reference input, including color frame alignment and AES phase alignment if a 10-field pulse is detected.

  • Page 21: Checking The Status Of The Unit

    If the 5601MSC is to be used as part of a dual redundant system involving a 5601ACO2 automatic changeover, the wiring diagram in section 1 should be observed. Use the included 15-pin male-male cables to connect the GPIO ports of the 5601MSCs to the 5601ACO2.
