Discover the Tascam CG-2000, the ultimate solution for precision synchronization in broadcast and post-production environments. This master clock generator is engineered for high-performance, offering meticulous clock frequency precision with its OCXO (oven-controlled crystal oscillator) that remains unfazed by environmental temperatures. Perfect for large-scale audio and video synchronization, the CG-2000 integrates seamlessly with a variety of systems.

Designed with versatility in mind, this converter features an external input connector supporting a 10MHz signal, allowing connection to advanced rubidium or GPS clocks. Its robust internal architecture includes a high-performance video clock generator and a PLL circuit with a discrete filter, ensuring a stable clock signal free from jitter.

The CG-2000 is not just about precision but also about reliability. It comes with dual power supply circuits for redundancy, along with video/audio clock backup options, safeguarding your operations against potential errors. With its twelve Wordclock outputs, four video outputs, and digital outputs including AES3/AES11 and S/PDIF, it fits seamlessly into any sophisticated DAW setup like Pro Tools.

Ease of use is another key aspect, with features like a self-correction function and a logging system that saves issues in a CSV format. The Amphenol BNC connectors provide durability, and a single circuit board for each connector ensures resistance against cable interference. The panel-lock switch prevents accidental setting changes, making this unit a dependable partner in your studio.
