GPS7 GPS Synchronization and Timecode modu le
GPS7 module pr
oduct description
The GPS7 GPS Synchronization and Timecode module provides the following
features:
Integrated GPS receiver that can serve as the system timing referenc e when
connected to a GPS and/or GLONASS signal (See page 3-102, GPS receiver
types.)
Three analog black video outputs for NTSC, PAL, or trilevel HD sync signals
REF IN input (shared with the BLACK 1 output c onnector) to apply analog
video, trilevel HD sync, or CW signals to use as a generator lock (Genlock)
referenc
e. Earlier GPS7 modules do not have the Genlock features.
NOTE. The menus and menu discussions in this manual represent the newest
features and software available, including all Genlock features and the REF IN
input. Earlier instruments without the REF IN input have similar menu structures
but not identical menu content.
Timec
ode output available as VITC on the black outputs and from four
independent LTC outputs
LTC i
nput (shared with LTC output connector) to use as an optional time
reference
Time
code reference to time-of-day from the GPS receiver, internal source,
VITC on the reference input, or to a program time counter for elapsed-time
timecode
Simple Network Time Protocol (NTP) Server functionality to respond to time
requests over the Ethernet interface
3.3 V or 5 V DC power output available for the GPS/GLONASS antenna
O
ne General Purpose Interface (GPI) input that allows you to remotely reset
the program time, reacquire the GPS position, or to force a jam sync
Two General Purpose Interface (GPI) outputs that allow you to send an alarm
signal when the GPS/GLONASS signal quality falls below a user-selectable
level, when there is a loss of lock on the GPS/GLONASS signal or incoming
black signal with VITC, or at a user-selected time
Ability to schedule GPS/GLONASS clock changes for Daylight Saving Time
(DST) and for leap seconds
Ability to configure how the instrument responds when there is a loss of
lock to the GPS/GLONASS signal, and how the instrument responds when
the signal is recovered
