TASCAM CG-1800 - Video Sync/Master Clock Generator

Achieve absolute timing precision and seamless synchronization across your entire studio or broadcast facility with the TASCAM CG-1800 Master Clock Generator. Designed for mission-critical post-production environments, live broadcast trucks, and large-scale recording studios, this master clock unites audio and video workflows under a single, ultra-stable timing reference.

Key Capabilities & Architecture

• High-Precision OCXO Core: Equipped with an Oven-Controlled Crystal Oscillator that maintains exceptional frequency stability independent of ambient temperature changes, minimizing clock jitter for pristine digital audio clarity.
• Comprehensive Clock & Video I/O: Offers multiple word clock outputs, dedicated video sync (Black Burst/HD Tri-Level) terminals, and AES3/11 and S/PDIF digital clock outputs to accommodate diverse multi-device setups.
• Clock Redundancy & Analyzer: Features built-in glitch-free relocking circuitry and an incoming clock frequency analyzer to prevent dropouts and instantly detect timing anomalies.
• GPS Synchronizability: Supports optional GPS receiver integration (via 10MHz input) for ultra-precise atomic-level timekeeping and long-term synchronization accuracy.
• Robust Front-Panel Monitoring: Includes an intuitive graphical display with real-time indicators for lock status, signal frequency, and error logging, ensuring complete oversight during critical sessions.

Whether you are locking together multiple digital audio workstations, video switchers, and multichannel recorders for film post-production or managing complex broadcast networks, the TASCAM CG-1800 provides the uncompromising reliability and absolute timing accuracy your facility demands.
