Slow lock When set to Abrupt lock the 5600MSC will make a sudden change in internal oscillator to bring it into lock with the time and frequency reference being applied. This setting may cause disturbances to the sync and timecode outputs as the unit relocks to its reference.
Page 59: Configuring The Outputs
The OUTPUT SETUP menu is used to set up various items related to the different outputs of the 5600MSC. The chart below shows the items available in the OUTPUT SETUP menu. Sections 3.6.1 and 3.6.2 give detailed information about each of the sub menus.

Model 5600MSC Master Clock/SPG Manual Select L1 rate 25.00 to generate time code that counts at 25 frames per second and has a bit rate of 2000 bits per second. This LTC will run at exactly real time and is often used for driving master clock systems. This time code will be synchronous to video sync pulse outputs in the PAL-B, 1080i/50, and 720p/50 video standards.

3.6.2. Configuring the Video Sync Outputs There are two banks of three video sync outputs (for a total of six outputs) available on the 5600MSC. The format of each output can be set independently of each other with the restriction that all outputs in bank 1 (S1, S2, and S3) or bank 2 (S4, S5 S6) must be operating at the same clock frequency.
Page 64: Selecting The Clock Frequency For Each Bank Of The Sync Outputs
The maximum voltage output of the timing pulses is approximately 1 volt p-p. Users may have to increase the amplitude of these pulses by using a Evertz equalizing DA (model 7700ADA-EQ or 500ADA-EQ) with the gain set to maximum in order to interface these pulses to other equipment.
