Tascam CG-2000

The Tascam CG-2000 is a highly specialized video and audio sync master clock generator, designed primarily to meet the rigorous demands of professional broadcast and post-production environments. The device is known for its precision and reliability in timecode generation and synchronization across various digital audio and video platforms. Built to ensure stable, continuous operation, the CG-2000 is equipped with a precision OCXO (Oven-Controlled Crystal Oscillator) that is characteristically immune to the effects of temperature fluctuations, resulting in extraordinarily low jitter and high accuracy. This timecode generator features four video sync outputs and twelve Word Clock outputs, making it an ideal fit for large scale operations that depend on synchronous signal distribution across multiple video and audio devices. Moreover, the CG-2000 includes AES3 and AES11 outputs, and a redundant power supply enhances its reliability, safeguarding against power failures. The unit's robust 1U rackmount chassis is intended for easy installation in standard equipment racks, which is convenient for studio setups. User interface aspects of the CG-2000 are designed with clarity and ease of use in mind, featuring a large LED panel that displays current status and settings visibly, even in dimly-lit environments. The panel also allows for easy configuration changes, either manually or via the network, ensuring flexible operations adaptable to varying production requirements. The Tascam CG-2000 thus stands out for its stability, versatility, and the precision necessary to manage synchronization in complex audio and video workflows, proving indispensable in broadcast, film, and music production settings where exact timing is critical.
