Evertz 5700MSC-IP Grand Master Clock and Video Reference Clock System

The Evertz 5700MSC-IP is an IP Network Grand Master Clock and Video Master Clock System designed for broadcast facilities, production environments, and hybrid SDI/IP infrastructures. It combines IP timing, video synchronization, and reference-clock generation in a modular 1RU platform. The system can be referenced to multiple GNSS constellations, including GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, and QZSS, using the included multi-GNSS smart antenna and receiver.

For IP-based facilities, the 5700MSC-IP provides 2 x 1000BASE-T and 2 x 10GbE timing interfaces supporting NTP, PTP, PCR, and professional timing profiles including SMPTE ST 2059-2, AES67, and IEEE 1588 Annex J. It can operate as an IP network root leader and can also be configured for follower/boundary-clock operation in larger timing architectures.

The synchronization section provides six independently timeable reference outputs, configurable for black burst, HDTV tri-level sync, 10 MHz, word clock, pulse signals, and other reference signals. Optional +SDI-TG and +10G-TG configurations add SDI and IP video test-generation capabilities, while the optional +AUX module adds functions such as AES/analog audio test generation, DARS, GPIO, and LTC.
