Brainstorm DXD-8 Precision Reference Generator with 8 Universal Outputs

The DXD series from Brainstorm is designed to ease the transition to IP. The DXD-8 Universal Clock, a precision multi-format reference generator generates up to 4 independent video syncs and audio clocks simultaneously. The DXD-8 generates up to 4 independent sync pulses and clocks simultaneously and routes them to the 8 BNC universal outputs. Universal Outputs give the DXD-8 great exibility as they can output any of the generated legacy reference signals. Included are all standard SD and HD video sync formats (Black Burst and HD tri-level sync), word clock and AES11 DARS (standard rates up to 384 KHz and all the necessary pull-up/down, including 24:25 conversions, even VSO) and 10MHz.

Key Features

• 4 separate Reference Generators
• 8 universal outputs (WC, AES, VID SYNC, 10MHz)
• 2 external reference inputs with failover for redundancy
• Synchronizes to a legacy reference, a PTP network or a GPS clock
• Remote control via web browser
