The 5600MSC and 5601MSC Master Sync and Clock Generators are both a broadcast quality master sync pulse generator (SPG) and a master clock. Each provides all of the synchronizing signals needed in a 21st century TV station or post production facility at the same time as solving the problem of locking the in-house master clock system to the master video sync pulse generator.On the 5600MSC, the master clock section provides a primary longitudinal time code (LTC) output on an XLR connector and a 9-pin D connector, as well as a secondary LTC output available only on the 9-pin D connector. The time code may be set from the front panel or referenced to a number of different sources.On the 5601MSC, the master clock section provides two longitudinal time code (LTC) or optional IRIG outputs on XLR connectors and a 15-pin D connector. The time code may be set from the front panel or referenced to a number of different sources.
