Evertz 5600MSC Master Sync Pulse Generator/Clock

This is both a broadcast quality master sync pulse generator (SPG) and a master clock. It provides all of the synchronizing signals needed in a 21st century TV station or post production facility at the same time as solving the problem of locking the in-house master clock system to the master video sync pulse generator.

Product Weight:  8 lbs
Dimensions:  19"W x 1.75"H x 18.75"D
