Tascam CG-1000 Master Clock Generator

The CG-1000 employs a high-precision OCXO (oven-controlled crystal oscillator) that boasts a clock frequency precision of 0.01ppm*1 and a frequency stability of 0.005ppm per day. The jitter management circuit developed by TASCAM reduces external clock jitters, enabling a stable clock signal to video and word outputs. A glitch-free relock circuit maintains a sustained clock phase even during clock dropouts and recovery, thus effectively preventing noise and skipping from occurring, delivering high reliability and stability to users.

The CG-1000 also equips 12 word clock outputs, two AES3/11 and two S/PDIF digital outputs, enabling the construction of large-scale synchronization systems. Furthermore, it is compatible with 2Fs, 4Fs, and 256Fs outputs, as well as Pro Tools and other DAW systems.

The CG-1000 is developed so that the cause of any malfunctions can be investigated during maintenance when problem occurs. The analyzer function that measures input frequency are all included, supporting troubleshooting should a problem occurs, while the word clocks output level can be adjusted to different levels, allowing for optimum signal levels to be supplied to connecting equipment. As another function that supports the detection of problems, a logging function is also included.
