Brainstorm Electronics DXD-8

The DXD series from Brainstorm is designed to ease the transition to IP. The DXD-8 Universal Clock, a precision multiformat reference generator generates up to 4 independent video syncs and audio clocks simultaneously. With the PTP option, it acts as a bridge between an IP infrastructure and legacy A/V equipment.

FLEXIBILITY AND EASY INTEGRATION:

• 4 separate Reference Generators

• 8 universal outputs (WC, AES, VID SYNC, 10MHz)

• 2 external reference inputs with failover for redundancy

• Synchronizes to a legacy reference, a PTP network or a GPS clock

• Remote control via web browser

• Multiple options: PTP, GPS, OCXO

REFERENCE GENERATOR:

• Generates simultaneously up to 4 different rates in any of these formats:

• Word clock - rates from 32 to 384 KHz

• AES - rates from 32 to 96 KHz

• Video sync:

• NTSC/PAL black burst

• 525/29.97/30i

• 625/23.98/24/25i

• HD tri-level sync

• 720/23.98/24/25/29.97/30/50/59.94/60P

• 1080/25/29.97/30i

• 1080/23.98/24/25/29.97/30sF

• 1080/23.98/24/25/29.97/30/50/59.94/60p

• 10MHz

UNIVERSAL OUTPUTS:

• 8 outputs - in 4 pairs

• BNC - 75

• Output signal: any of the generated legacy references

OSCILLATORS:

• TCXO: +/- 1ppm

• OCXO: +/-10ppb (option)

EXTERNAL SYNC SOURCES:

• Word clock

• AES

• Video sync (Black Burst or HD tri-level sync)

• 10MHz

• GPS (Option)

UNIVERSAL INPUTS:

• 2 BNC input connectors w/ 75 termination switch

• Accepts the following input signals:
