Tascam CG-2000 Video Sync and Master Clock Generator

Tascam CG-2000

The CG-2000 from Tascam is specifically designed for the sophisticated needs of broadcasting and post-production environments. Utilizing an OCXO (oven-controlled crystal oscillator), it maintains high precision unaffected by environmental temperature variations. The CG-2000 delivers synchronization with exceptional accuracy, featuring a clock frequency precision of 0.01 ppm and a frequency stability of +/-0.005 ppm per day.

Equipped with an external input connector that supports 10MHz signals, the CG-2000 can interface with rubidium or GPS clocks for enhanced precision. Its innovative design, featuring a high-performance video clock generator and a PLL circuit with a discrete filter, remarkably reduces external clock jitter, ensuring a stable output to the video/word outputs.
