Evertz 7800SRG-IP
About
7800SRG-IP is a PTP Slave Sync Generator designed for precision timing in hybrid IP-baseband environments. It generates six independently timed sync outputs, locked to an upstream PTP grandmaster clock, and supports black burst, tri-level sync, and continuous wave signals. Installed in an Evertz 7800 series frame, it ensures accurate synchronization for remote edit suites, IP-based broadcast facilities, and legacy baseband equipment.
Key Features
Precision timing synchronization: Generates six independently timed sync outputs, locked to an upstream PTP grandmaster clock, ensuring accurate synchronization in hybrid IP-baseband environments.
Versatile output configuration: Supports black burst, tri-level sync, continuous wave signals, and word clock, providing flexible timing solutions for broadcast, media production, and legacy baseband equipment.
Use Cases
Seamless Synchronization for Hybrid IP and Baseband Broadcast Workflows
Challenge: A broadcast facility transitioning to an IP-based infrastructure needs to maintain precise synchronization between legacy baseband equipment and new IP workflows without a large coaxial sync distribution system.
Solution: The 7800SRG-IP locks to a PTP grandmaster clock over Ethernet and provides six independent sync outputs, configurable as black burst, tri-level sync, or continuous wave signals to match the facility’s timing requirements.
Benefit: Ensures seamless synchronization between IP and baseband systems, reducing the need for extensive coaxial cabling while maintaining compatibility with legacy video equipment.
Cost-Effective Sync Solution for Remote Production and Editing Suites
Challenge: A remote production studio requires a reliable sync source for multiple editing suites, but installing a traditional GPS-based master clock is impractical because of cost and infrastructure limitations.
Solution: The 7800SRG-IP derives timing from a PTP network source and distributes precise sync signals to each editing suite, eliminating the need for expensive external master clock systems.
Benefit: Provides a cost-effective and scalable synchronization solution, ensuring frame-accurate editing and smooth video playback without requiring a dedicated grandmaster clock at the remote site.
