•

Creating systems with even higher precision is possible using an external input connector that supports 10MHz

•

Jitter management circuit provide stable clock

•

Glitch-free relocking circuit prevents noise and skipping during clock dropouts and recovery

•

Numerous output connectors, including 12 word clock outputs, enable use even in large-scale video/audio synchronization systems

•
