TIME SYNC

TIME SYNC

Time Sync is an independent clock data transfer system that was developed

to eliminate recovery jitter. Time Sync couples the high speed master clock

output from the transport directly to the processor. This means there is one system master clock for the transport and processor. The use of the Time Sync system requires that a KRELLprocessor be equipped with a Time Sync input.

It also requires that the Time Sync output of the KPS-20t be connected to the Time Sync input of the processor using an ST fiber optic cable.

With Time Sync operating, the processor does not use a recovered clock

generated by its decoder. Instead, the transport's clock feeds the input of the

DACs. This process climates 100% of the jitter corruption inherent in all clock

recovery type systems. The ST interface was chosen for its high data rate and its immunity to radiated R.F. and 60 cycle noise corruption.

Refer to the KRELLD/A Processor's Owner's Reference for Time Sync operating instructions.
