Product Description

This innovative, multipurpose synchronization solution offers a variety of outstanding features, many of which are also found in Meinberg's IMS and LANTIME product families.

Key features include a GNSS receiver, two PTP ports, two Management/NTP ports, Black Burst, LTC, Word Clock, DARS and many other sync pulses available as input or output. The microSync Broadcast variants combine a modern sync reference for IP based devices and a Signal Pulse Generator for legacy video and audio devices.

The half-rack microSync^HR (7xx) model impresses with its compact design and high port density and is a perfect solution for smaller broadcast environments like OB vans or remote production use cases. The 19-inch rackmount microSync^RX (7xx/8xx) model additionally offers redundant power supplies and OLED display as an option.

The units run the operating system meinbergOS and can be managed using the Meinberg Device Manager software, which is available for Windows and Linux platforms.
