Brainstorm DXD-16
A PTP Grandmaster with GPS, merged with a precision Reference Generator
Barinstorm’s DXD-16 can be either a PTP Grandmaster, slave or Boundary Clock. PTP (Precision Time Protocol), defined in IEEE 1588, has been broadly adopted by manufacturers as a network synchronizing standard, which means that the DXD-16 can work in a number of systems. PTP profiles supported by the DXD-16 include AES67 and SMPTE 2059.
As a Boundary Clock, the DXD-16 can be a slave to a Grandmaster on one of its attached networks, synchronize its internal clocks to that Grandmaster, and distribute the same Grandmaster time in its role as PTP master to the remaining attached networks. Alternatively it can itself fulfill the function of Grandmaster and be PTP master on all attached networks.
Four Gigabit Ethernet ports (RJ45) are available on the DXD-16. The different ports can be used independently or as primary and secondary pairs. Each network connector supports an electrically and logically independent network, with the DXD-16 acting as a PTP timing bridge. The DXD-16 is not a network switch, and for security reasons no information flows from any network port to any other.
