Telestream's SPG9000 timing
and reference system provides two
independent 1G/10G IP ports over
which PTP messaging can be sent
between all
clocks
and
devices
across separate networks to keep
them synchronised with whatever
device is designated the grandmaster
clock reference. The SPG9000 can
serve as a grandmaster, leader, or
follower. " The SPG9000 also offers
the ability
to get accurate timing
information from GPS satellites as
well as any GNSS satellite whether
GLONAST, BaiDau, GPS, Galileo,
or QZSS. So, satellite connectivity
is
global, " adds
Steven Bilow,
Senior Product Marketing Manager,

devices and systems also require
identical

" ATSC 3.0 deployments are quickly

broadcasters, " says Ralph Bachofen,
VP of Sales and Marketing.
" Broadcasters can ensure accurate
delivery of datacasting content which
is a key revenue generator in the
ATSC 3.0 environment. Long-term

Critical auditing capabilities allow
broadcasters to comply with industry
