Brainstorm PTP/DXD8 - PTP Option DXD-8

Firmware option for the DXD-8 - master or slave - supports IEEE 1588 PTP v2 - includes AES67 and SMPTE 2059 profiles

The optional PTP firmware supports PTP V2, PTP  V1 (Dante) and gPTP (AVB). The DXD- 8 can be a PTP Grandmaster or a PTP Slave. Precision Time Protocol (PTP) has been broadly adopted as the network synchronizing standard, which means that the DXD-8 can work in a number of systems. Several PTP profiles are included: AES67, SMPTE 2059 and gPTP.

As a PTP slave, the DXD-8 would synchronize its internal clocks to the PTP Grandmaster while generating the different sync pulses and clocks. Alternatively it can itself fulfill the function of Grandmaster either locked to the GPS signal (option) or to it’s internal oscillator.

The DXD-8 has one Gigabit Ethernet port (RJ45).
