Brainstorm Electronics is introducing the PTP and GPS feature sets for its DXD Universal Clock line, designed to be the central source of time in a modern Audio/Video installation.

By combining PTP, GPS and legacy syncronisation, Brainstorm bridges the traditional approach to A/V equipment and the move towards IP networking, expanding the user’s ability to take advantage of the AES67, SMPTE 2110, Dante and Ravenna formats for working with media over IP.

The DXD-8 Universal Clock is a precision multi-format reference generator generates up to four independent clock rates for video sync and audio clocks simultaneously and distributes them through its eight BNC Format Selectable Outputs. With the PTP option, it acts as a bridge between an IP infrastructure and legacy A/V equipment. The DXD-16, with four independent PTP ports, can be either a PTP Grandmaster, slave or Boundary Clock, supporting AES67 and SMPTE 2059 PTP profiles. Simultaneously, the multi-format reference generator generates 6 independent clock rates. Standard audio and video clock formats are distributed through its 16 BNC format selectable outputs.

Established in Los Angeles in 1987, Brainstorm Electronics is a leader in professional Audio/Video sync solutions. From time code to low-jitter word clock and video sync, and now PTP and GPS, Brainstorm products have been used and trusted for more than 30 years by engineers worldwide in the post, broadcast and live environments.
