Meinberg

Powerful PTP Grandmaster and NTP Server

Meinberg's microSync series is a range of reliable, versatile synchronization solutions for a diverse range of industries and applications. The microSyncRX and microSyncTRX servers are efficient, 19" rack-mounted time servers with a wealth of features, among them an impressive, densely-packed array of inputs and outputs and optional power supply redundancy. Key Features

All microSyncRX and microSyncTRX models offer key features such as multiple programmable output signals (two over fibre-optic ST connectors), four Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and the ability to synchronize both NTP and PTP devices.

With two of the network ports being PTP-capable in both Master and Slave mode, the microSyncRX and microSyncTRX models are operable as powerful GNSS-synchronised PTP Grandmasters that offer a high level of accuracy and support all major PTP profiles: in addition to the standard IEEE1588 profiles it also supports power, telecom (frequency and phase profiles), SMPTE 2059-2, AES67/RAVENNA and IEEE802.1AS profiles.

The sheer diversity of outputs and interfaces makes the microSyncRX and microSyncTRX ideal for a large range of industries and applications. Various different models featuring different inputs, outputs, and GNSS receivers are available to suit specific application demands.

GNSS Receivers

A microSync system can be fitted with a GPS-only receiver, a combination GPS/Galileo receiver, or a multi-GNSS solution capable of supporting all four of the main GNSS constellations: GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, and GLONASS.

Inputs/Outputs

In addition to two custom 16-pin DFMC connectors providing a multitude of programmable pulse outputs with RS-422 and optocoupler signaling, the various models also provide different options in terms of I/O over BNC connectors, with various combinations of AM time code outputs, programmable pulse outputs, 10 MHz TTL inputs/outputs, 10 MHz sine-wave outputs, PPS inputs all possible.

OLED Display

microSyncRX models can optionally be fitted with an OLED display on the same side as the connectors, while the corresponding microSyncTRX models are equipped with an OLED display on the opposite side to the connectors. This provides flexibility for a diverse range of rack configurations and arrangements.

The OLED display provides an easily readable, well-lit status readout at all times, showing the current time & date, the clock & receiver status, and the current network configuration.

In conjunction with the rotary controller, the OLED display also provides an easy method of configuring the port LAN0 (IP address, netmask, gateway, and DHCP) for use as a network-reachable management port during set-up.
