Description
Designed to provide continuous and reliable performance in live and broadcast environments, the D-Clock-R from Drawmer is a dual redundant, 2x16 word clock distributor and amplifier, capable of providing word clock signals to up to 16 devices. The special feature of this 19", 1 RU word clock distributor is its dual redundant operation: Both the power supply and word clock input are doubled with identical circuits to ensure that should one fail, the other will seamlessly take over, preventing a loss of signal or operation during crucial broadcasts and performances.The D-Clock-R supports sample rates from 32 to 768 kHz on word clock signals and up to 192 kHz on AES-3id signals, easily measured from the three-mode LCD display within 2 ppm and maintained by a highly stable TXCO. This unit comes with two AC power cords for its universal, globally compatible mains inputs.Dual Redundant Power Supply The D-Clock-R is fitted with two identical and independent power supply units, providing dual redundancy. In situations where it is critical that power must be maintained, the load is shared between the two supplies, and should power to one fail, the D-Clock-R will still run perfectly well on either. Each PSU features universal voltage filtered mains power inlets for continuous operation and reliability.LCD Display with 3 Measurement Modes A 16-character blue LCD display provides a reference measurement of the incoming sample rate to an accuracy of 2 ppm and displays the information in three different formats: actual frequency (to one decimal place), nominal frequency ppm error, or nominal frequency plus percentage of pull up or pull down.Auto-Sensing, Dual Redundant BNC Inputs Two inputs are provided, a default and auxiliary, capable of locking on to both word clock and AES-3id signals, with the source automatically selected depending on the type and quality of the signal. Twelve BNC clock outputs are situated on the rear panel with a further four on the front panel for quick patching to other digital devices.
