Although the TCO100 is designed to work primarily as a companion to the GPS200 Masterclock generator/receiver it will function as a high quality, standalone source of precision time code and PPS. When combined with a GPS200 Masterclock receiver the TCO100 will deliver accurate and precise time virtually anywhere in the world. When operated as a standalone oscillator/time code generator source the internal clock can be set with front panel switches or via RS232 control and will maintain stable time for long periods of time (+/- 1 minute per year) without further intervention or calibration.
FEATURES
Generates
30 fps SMPTE, 25 fps EBU, 24 fps FILM or IRIG-B (Modulated and unmodulated)
time codes
Functions
as a backup time code source for Master Clock Systems
When
connected to a GPS200 master clock generator, the TCO100 automatically
synchronizes to GPS atomic clock time.
Upon
failure or removal of the GPS200, the TCO100 will revert to an internal
temperature compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) and continue to provide an accurate time code
output.
When the
TCO100 is ordered with the GPS200, the TCO100CC disciplining "Y"
cable with time code output is included at no charge.
Internal
TCXO precision crystal oscillator - standard - provides accuracy of +/-
1 minute per year (<165 ms / day)
