ESE ES-188F 1RU Rackmount NTP Referenced Master Clock and Time Code Generator
The ESE ES-188F is an NTP Referenced Master Clock / TimeCode Generator. It displays nine digits (Day of Year, Hour, Minute &Second) of time as received via a user selected NTP server. Simultaneously, theES-188F generates several types of time code including SMPTE/EBU LTC,ESE-TC90/TC89, ASCII (RS-232C & USB), IRIG-B and a 1PPS signal. These outputsallow the ES-188F to easily interface with new or existing computers,automation and clock systems.
Software available for the ES-188F permits users tocontinuously update a computer’s Windows’ clock to the time available on theUSB port. Other features allow the user to select SMPTE mode (DF, NDF, EBU& Real Time), offset the Time Zone displayed and output by the ES-188F andadvance or delay the time output for various synchronizing purposes.
A user may find the ES-188F particularly beneficial if: 1)The user has trouble getting a reliable GPS Signal into a facility, such as abasement or a building with metallic coating on the windows; 2) The user hastrouble getting an antenna to the outside of a facility, because the cable runwill be too expensive or the facility cannot be modified, which is the casewith many historical buildings or 3) A facility needs to be time synchronizedto a remote location through NTP, for example, universities with multiplecampuses or NPR affiliate stations
