Feature-Rich PCI Express Timing Board Gets an Update

The new TSync-PCIe PCI express time code processor card adds features to make it the most feature-rich timing card available to support the servers and computer workstations that have limited options for peripheral cards. Most of the card's features are programmed in firmware, so cards used in existing installations can benefit from the new features.

New features include:

• Compatible with external GPS receiver for installations with existing antennas
• External signalling output to support other systems
  • IRIG time code
  • Time matched, alarm, and periodic
  • Precision 1PPS
  • Precision 10 MHz
• Enhanced internal oscillator accuracy

Redundant GPS Master Clock for Broadcast Applications

The Epsilon Clock Model EC22S is a fully redundant master clock designed for precise time and frequency synchronization of DVB networks. It is the first master clock with no single point of failure. The chassis contains two completely redundant hot-swappable GPS clock modules, each with a unique GPS receiver and power supply. An automatic failover switch continues to output precise 1PPS (8x) and 10 MHz (8x) upon failure of one clock with minimal phase shift.

Network-Centric Timing Appliance for Military Networks

New network deployments in the Aerospace and Defense industries require precision timing that enables secure, reliable and manageable network time synchronization. The new 9300 series is a network-centric appliance that meets all relevant mandates and specifications as required by the Department of Defense including SAASM GPS and IPv6. This new product builds upon the proven 9200 Series  NetClock product platform to meet requirements for IPSec, IRIG timing, and UL, RoHS and CE compliance.

For the first time, the NetClock is available in a military-spec tested shock and vibration chassis. These features along with the NetClock’s superior reputation for reliability backed by a 5-year warranty, make the 9300 series a solution of choice for the DoD and their contractors to support their mission-critical applications.

Wireless Clock System for Simple and Reliable Clock Synchronization

The new NetClock® Wireless Clock System synchronizes clocks to official time with unprecedented simplicity and reliability. No more wondering which clock has the right time. Official time from a GPS-enabled master clock/time server is broadcast by a wireless transmitter using open frequency 900 MHz. No FCC license is required. Analog and digital clocks receive the time signal and rebroadcast to other clocks for a reliable wireless time mesh network without the need for multiple transmitters or an extremely high power signal.

The system offers the advantage of enterprise-wide synchronized time. It integrates display time with the entire network and facility infrastructure so you can be ensured of legally traceable time is used anywhere time is important: servers, workstations, routers, building automation, access control, video surveillance, time and attendance and much more.

Timing Board Upgrade

TPRO/TSAT-PCI-U Supports 66MHz bus speed

The PCI version of IRIG or GPS synchronized timing boards are now optimized to run at a 66 MHz bus speed with a 32-bit data interface that results in time reads on the order of one-millionth of a second. This product upgrade continues Spectracom's committment to precision timing for embedded computing environments. Previously, the timing boards were designed to support 3.3V and 5V universal signaling. Driver support is available for Linux, Windows, and Solaris. Other drivers are available upon request. Orders for this product can be delivered in one week or less.

Spectracom Acquires Line Of TimeCode Reader/Generators and GPS Timing Boards

Spectracom has just acquired the KSI family of bus-level timing boards. KSI boards generate time stamps or standard time code outputs that are capable of being read and interpreted. Installed in PC’s, workstations and servers, bus-level timing boards stamp events such as computer log-ins, e-mail messaging and data transmissions. Additional uses include capturing video and audio data such as identifying times and sequences of video frames and voice data. Military applications involving communication time stamping and weaponry performance are also possible.Learn more about the KSI family of bus-level timing boards.
