Lucid SSG192

Lucid SSG192

The SSG192 is the ultimate low jitter master clock. It simultaneously outputs Word Clock, 256x Superclock, 1024x Lucid Ultraclock, and AES-11 sync formats at frequencies up to 192kHz and generates or syncs to house video blackburst.

Why does a studio need a master sync generator?

Each device's internal clock operates at a sample frequency slightly different from its neighbor, even if all devices are set to the same nominal rate. As a result, audible pops and clicks may result when un-synchronized digital sources are mixed. 'Daisy chaining' Word Clock from one device to the next is one way to approach the problem but often creates new problems in the process. Each device in the chain introduces cumulative delay and long Word Clock cables (particularly at the end of the chain) increase clock jitter. Both delay and jitter contribute to significant increase of high-frequency distortion artifacts throughout the system. The Lucid SSG192 High Definition Studio Sync Generator prevents the above mentioned nasties from attacking your audio.

A one stop solution

With the SSG192 as the master clock for all audio and video in your studio, you reference multiple digital components to one highly accurate, stable clock. The SSG192 internally generates 15 audio clock rates (including 96 and 192 kHz) or can sync to one of four external clocks (Word Clock, AES-3, AES-11, or video blackburst). With four discrete Word Clock outputs, plus additional outputs for 256x Superclock, 1024x Lucid UltraClock, video and AES-11, the SSG192 handles every type of studio situation that might come its way.
