8 Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators,
heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including ampliers) that produce heat.
9 Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provid­ed for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replace­ment of the obsolete outlet.
10 Protect the power cord from being walked on or
pinched particularly at plugs, convenience recepta­cles, and the point where they exit from the appara­tus.
11 Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
12 Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
specied by the manufacturer, or sold with the appa­ratus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
• The apparatus draws nominal non-operating power from the AC outlet with its POWER or STANDBY/ON switch not in the ON position.
• The mains plug is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.
• Caution should be taken when using earphones or headphones with the product because excessive sound pressure (volume) from earphones or headphones can cause hearing loss.
• If you are experiencing problems with this product, contact TEAC for a service referral. Do not use the product until it has been repaired.
CAUTION
• Do not expose this apparatus to drips or splashes.
• Do not place any objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the apparatus.
• Do not install this apparatus in a confined space such as a book case or similar unit.
• The apparatus should be located close enough to the AC outlet so that you can easily grasp the power cord plug at any time.
• If the product uses batteries (including a battery pack or installed batteries), they should not be exposed to sunshine, fire or excessive heat.
• CAUTION for products that use replaceable lithium batteries: there is danger of explosion if a battery is replaced with an incorrect type of battery. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
WARNING
• Products with Class ! construction are equipped with a power supply cord that has a grounding plug. The cord of such a product must be plugged into an AC outlet that has a protective grounding connection.

1 – Introduction

Thank you very much for purchasing a TASCAM CG-2000 Master Clock Generator.
Before using this unit, please read this manual thoroughly to ensure you understand how to operate it correctly. We hope that you will enjoy using this unit for many years.
After you have finished reading this Owner’s Manual, please keep it in a convenient place for future reference. You can also download a copy of this manual from the TEAC Global Site (http://teac-global.com/).

Features

Supports power redundancy with two power circuits (This is off by default; turn on to use. See “Setting the power redundancy function” on page 26.)
Supports video clock and word clock redundancy (This is off by default; turn on to use. See“Setting the reference redundancy function” on page 19.)
Internal oscillation element uses a high-precision OCXO (oven-controlled crystal oscillator), which is not affected by environmental temperature
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
Supports input and output of a variety of video signal formats, including NTSC, PAL and HD tri-level
AES3 and AES11 signals can also be used for external master clock input sources
Analyze function can measure output device termination
Word clock output level adjustment function allows signals to be provided to other devices at optimal levels
Error status can be output using GPO parallel output, allowing the monitoring of problems when they occur
Self-calibration function using an external oscillator (atomic/GPS 10MHz, GPS PPS)*
Word clock up to 192 kHz supported
Supports 0.1% PULL UP/DOWN between 24F (Film) and 29.97F (NTSC) and 4% PULL UP/DOWN between 24F (Film) and 25F (PAL)
Up to 4 system settings can be saved to buttons for recall, and saved settings can be imported and exported via USB
Tough nut-coupling BNC connectors made by Amphenol
Construction uses independent circuit boards for each connector to prevent contact failures due to twisting
Three-prong inlet type power cable included
Panel-lock switch to prevent misoperation
128x64-pixel organic EL display with a wide viewing angle
Aluminum front panel that matches other studio equipment
Firmware updates possible using the USB port
EIA 1U rackmount size
RoHS-compliant
*Use of the self-calibration function requires preparation of a separate PPS-output 10MHz oscillator with a built-in GPS antenna.

Maximizing the clock generator accuracy
The OCXO (oven-controlled crystal oscillator) has extremely high clock precision and can generate stable clock, but the following precautions should be observed.
One characteristic of OCXOs is that they require a long time to stabilize after power is supplied. This results because of the initial fluctuation that is characteristic of crystal oscillators.
In order to achieve the best performance of an OCXO, we recommend that you do not interrupt its power supply during use.
Moreover, provide the unit with power for a long time so that the internal oscillator is stable before calibrating it. This will increase frequency precision. (See “Calibrating the internal oscil­lator” on page 27.)

5 – Reference redundancy function

This unit has two inputs each for video reference and word clock signals, and it supports redundancy in order to prevent problems caused by external clock interruptions.
Furthermore, if both reference clocks are interrupted, the HOLD OVER function will become active. The HOLD OVER function uses the internal clock and sustains the input reference frequency as much as possible to generate the clock. Even when redundancy is off, the HOLD OVER function will become active to provide backup reference if the reference clock is interrupted.
When using the reference redundancy function you can select the following combinations of primary and secondary reference clock sources.

Calibrating the internal oscillator

The importance of calibration
This unit has an OCXO (oven-controlled crystal oscillator) that provides 0.01ppm high-precision frequency output. However, every clock generator, including this one, can normally be expected to change over time.
In order to enable continued use with high-performance, this unit has a function for calibrating the internal oscillator.
If you connect and input a 10MHz signal generated from a GPS signal or a PPS signal, for example, to the dedicated
