(time of day or program time) and time zone offset. Vertical interval time code (VITC) is available on each NTSC or PAL black output, also with independent time sources and offsets. The SPG8000A can also serve as a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server or as a Precision Time Protocol (PTP) grandmaster clock, providing the time-of-day reference to network-attached devices.
Page 20: Figure I: Spg8000A Front And Rear Panels
Preface Figure i: SPG8000A front and rear panels Optional GPS / GLONASS Option GPS adds an integrated receiver to the SPG8000A that can receive both GPS and GLONASS signals. When connected to an external antenna that supplies receiver the standard GPS and/or GLONASS RF signal (for example, SPG8000ANT), the SPG8000A can use the GPS/GLONASS system’s stable frequency reference.
Page 21 Preface Bitmap images can be downloaded to the SPG8000A’s ﬂash memory for arbitrary user-deﬁned test patterns. ID text, burn-in time code, circle, and color logo overlays can be added to any test pattern, and several ancillary data packet types, including ancillary time code and user-deﬁned packets, can be inserted into the SDI output signal.
Page 22: Methods Of Operation
PTP slave to generate baseband signals. Methods of operation This instrument can be operated using either the front panel or the SPG8000A Web Interface. It is recommended that you use the SPG Web Interface to operate the instrument since it is easier to use and more intuitive. The majority of this manual describes how to operate the instrument using the SPG8000A Web Interface.

Page 25: System Timing
System timing Frame reset signals The SPG8000A uses the three frame reset signals described below to output different video formats simultaneously. FRAME RESET 1 This frame reset signal runs at 2.997 Hz and supports the 1/1.001 system signal, and is used by the following video formats. These signals are synchronized with each other.
Page 26: Gps And Glonass Signal Quality (Option Gps Only)
3023. This value indicates that the receiver supports GPS and GLONASS signals. Figures of Merit (FOM) The SPG8000A generator uses Figures of Merit (FOM) to measure and track GPS and/or GLONASS signal quality. These numbers are a compendium of the GPS and/or GLONASS signal quality and the processes that occur as the instrument progresses through the states needed to lock on to the GPS and/or GLONASS signal.

The Secondary PTP engine is only a master. The primary and secondary PTP engine cannot be on the same domain. The SPG8000A will display an error message if an attempt is made to set them to the same domain.

NOTE. The entries in the PTP menu vary depending on modes of the instrument. Master and Slave modes need different settings. Multicast, Unicast and Mixed modes have different settings. Different proﬁles allow different ranges for some parameters. SPG8000A User Manual...

Page 205: Ptp Operational Overview
PTP operational overview PTP introduction Option PTP for the SPG8000A adds two Precision Time Protocol (PTP) engines to the SPG system. The primary PTP engine has the capability to be a master PTP source or lock the SPG to the PTP as a slave. The secondary PTP engine can only be a master.
Page 206 The response contains the t4 time stamp from when the master received the delay request. Once the slave receives the delay response, it has the second pair of timestamps needed to calculate the second delay measurement of the slave to master delay. SPG8000A User Manual...
Page 207 The proﬁle deﬁnes the default and range of each parameter, and deﬁnes with options are required, allowed or prohibited. In the SPG8000A, the proﬁle can be initialized to the default value for a given proﬁle and mode. After setting the reference mode, the user should go to the PTP menu and select the proﬁle.
Page 208 AVB (802.1AS) proﬁle, and domain 127 could be a master on the SMPTE ST2059 proﬁle. Since the SPG8000A has two PTP engines, the instrument can provide PTP mastering on two domains and two proﬁles simultaneously. With multiple SPGs, more domains and proﬁles can coexist on the same network.
Page 209 SMPTE proﬁle system messages. For SMPTE proﬁle systems, a given domain must use one type of message for all Announce, Sync and Follow up messages. Therefore, all masters and slaves on that domain must be conﬁgured for either Multicast or they all must be conﬁgured for Unicast. SPG8000A User Manual...
Page 210 Trafﬁc mismatch on the two paths, message type mismatch, and cable delay variation. The paragraphs below contain hints on how to design the system to minimize the delay asymmetry. Alternatively, the SPG8000A provides a way to manually enter a correction value to cancel the delay error.
Page 211 The PTP system is incapable of removing this effect, so the best way to prevent this is to use high-quality cable with a minimum variation in the physical propagation delay. SPG8000A User Manual...
