TASCAM CG-2000

With redundancy of both the power supply and the video/audio clock, as well as many other functions that meet the strict demands of broadcasting and post production, the CG-2000 is at the top of its class

The CG Series includes three distinct models tailored to different types of studios.The CG-2000 is designed for the needs of broadcasting and post production, the CG-1800 for small to large-scale video/audio synchronization systems, and the CG-1000 for recording studios, live sound applications and professional musicians.

The crystal oscillator is the heart of the clock generator. In each model of the CG Series, an OCXO (oven-controlled crystal oscillator) is used for its high precision, and the fact it is not influenced by the temperature of the environment. Boasting a clock frequency precision of 0.01 ppm*1, which exceeds that of a TCXO (temperature-compensated crystal oscillator), this unit is key in the creation of high-precision synchronization systems – with word output frequency stability of ±0.005ppm or less per day.

The CG-2000 is equipped with an external input connector that supports a 10MHz signal. This allows it to be connected to a rubidium clock or GPS clock for even higher precision.

External clock jitter is reduced using an original TASCAM circuit design that incorporates a high-performance video clock generator engineered with a FPGA*2 and a PLL (phase-locked loop) circuit with a discrete filter. This enables a stable clock signal to be provided to the video/word outputs – improving system stability. The glitch-free relock circuit prevents noise and skipping sounds caused by master clock dropouts.

In addition to (12) word clock outputs and (4) video outputs, the digital outputs include (2) AES3/AES11 and (2) S/PDIF outputs, making this unit useful for large-scale audio/video synchronization systems, and a wide variety of other applications. Of the (12) word outputs, two also support x2Fs, x4Fs and 256Fs output – enabling them to be used in systems with ProTools and other DAW software.

The CG Series has multiple functions to support maintenance, and the identification of issues if problems occur. The analyzer function measures output device termination, input level measurement (for CG-2000 and CG-1800), and the measurement of input frequencies. These built-in features enable the devices to provide troubleshooting support. Additionally, a logging function enables issues to be listed, and saved to a CSV file format on a USB flash drive.

Since crystal oscillators change over time, regular calibration is necessary. In order to avoid possible sync problems, timely inspections – along with regular maintenance is required. The CG Series has a self-correction function, enabling users to conduct maintenance using an external signal input*3 and simple operations.

Amphenol BNC connectors on the chassis use nuts for coupling – making them very durable, Also, a single circuit board is used for each connector – providing excellent resistance to the twisting and pulling of cables, and the suppression of interference between connectors.

The CG Series is the latest in the line of innovative TASCAM professional digital products – engineered with the latest digital clocking technology.

Designed for High Reliability and Dependable Stability

Power supply redundancy with two power supply circuits

With two power supply circuits, the CG-2000 features redundancy to prevent mishaps caused by power outages.

Redundant video reference/word clock input

With two inputs each for video reference and world clock signals, there is redundancy to prevent problems due to external clock interruption.

Jitter management circuit provides stable clock

External clock jitter is reduced using an original TASCAM circuit design that incorporates a high-performance video clock generator device, featuring an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) and a PLL (phase-locked loop) circuit with a discrete filter. This enables a stable clock signal to be provided to the video/word outputs, improving system stability.

Glitch-free relocking circuit prevents noise and skipping during clock dropouts and recovery

The CG-2000 constantly measures the external reference clock. In devices that do not have built-in countermeasures, and the master clock signal drops out, the video reference and word clock signals could become out of phase, and sound might skip during the dropout – and again during recovery. In the CG-2000, if the clock drops out, a substitute reference clock signal is maintained with a high-performance holdover. During this time, the video reference and word clock signals are kept in-phase, so restoration of synchronization to the reference signal can occur without glitches – preventing video/audio noise and skipping sounds when recovering from a dropout.

High-precision synchronization systems can be created

Internal clock uses a high-precision OCXO that is not influenced by the temperature of the environment

The crystal oscillator is the heart of the clock generator, In the CG-2000, an OCXO (oven-controlled crystal oscillator) is used for its high precision, and the fact it is not influenced by the temperature of the environment. Boasting a clock frequency precision of 0.01 ppm*, which exceeds that of a TCXO (temperature-compensated crystal oscillator), this unit is key in the creation of high-precision synchronization systems – with word output frequency stability of +/-0.005ppm or less per day.

Input connector that supports 10MHz signal – allowing the creation of systems with even higher precision

An external input connector that supports a 10MHz signal enables the CG-2000 to be connected to a rubidium clock or GPS clock for even higher precision.

Abundant Input and Output Connectors Support Use in Large-scale Audio/Video Synchronization Systems

Numerous output connectors, including 12 word clock outputs

Supports input and output of a variety of video signal formats – including NTSC, PAL and HD Tri-level

Analog NTSC/PAL and digital HD Tri-level video signal formats are supported.

Multiple Functions Support Maintenance and Identification of Issues If Problems Occur

Analyzer function that can measure output device termination

In the installation of broadcasting and large-scale post-production studios, numerous connected devices and complicated wiring are common. The CG-2000 has an analyzer function that allows it to measure phase difference, input frequencies, input levels and the terminations of output devices – enabling it to provide support when troubleshooting problems should they occur.

Optimal levels can be provided to other devices by adjusting wordclock output levels

Depending on the routing of wiring and the receiving devices, signal levels could be reduced – resulting in proper reception failures. Since the output of the CG-2000 can be set to multiple levels, it can provide optimal signal levels to connected devices.

Checking conditions if problems occur is possible through logging and GPO parallel output

One function that enables identification of the causes of trouble is the logging function. In addition to being able to check the log on the CG-2000 display, you can also capture the log as a CSV-format file on a USB flash drive. Moreover, you can also monitor the conditions of trouble occurrence by using GPO parallel output.

Self-calibration function enables maintenance by users

Since crystal oscillators change over time, regular calibration is necessary. In order to avoid problems that could lead to broadcast trouble, timely inspections and regular maintenance are required. The CG-2000 has a self-correction function, enabling users to conduct maintenance using external signal input* and simple operations.

*Use of the self-calibration function requires preparation of a separate PPS-output 10MHz oscillator with a built-in GPS antenna.

Designed for Durability

Durable nut-coupling Amphenol BNC connectors

Since the Amphenol BNC connectors use nuts for coupling, they are extremely resistant to pulling, twisting and multiple connect-disconnect cycles.

Each connector has an independent circuit board to prevent contact failures due to twisting and repeated use

The construction uses a single circuit board for each connector. This provides excellent resistance to the twisting and pulling of cables and suppresses interference between connectors.
