# Evertz 7800SRG-IP
6+
7+
## About
8+
9+
**7800SRG-IP** is a PTP Slave Sync Generator designed for precision timing in hybrid IP-baseband environments. It generates six independently timed sync outputs, locked to an upstream PTP grandmaster clock, and supports black burst, tri-level sync, and continuous wave signals. Installed in an Evertz 7800 series frame, it ensures accurate synchronization for remote edit suites, IP-based broadcast facilities, and legacy baseband equipment.
10+
11+
### Key Features
12+
13+
- **Precision timing synchronization**: Generates six independently timed sync outputs, locked to an upstream PTP grandmaster clock, ensuring accurate synchronization in hybrid IP-baseband environments.
14+
15+
- **Versatile output configuration**: Supports black burst, tri-level sync, continuous wave signals, and word clock, providing flexible timing solutions for broadcast, media production, and legacy baseband equipment.
16+
17+
## Use Cases
18+
19+
### Seamless Synchronization for Hybrid IP and Baseband Broadcast Workflows
20+
21+
**Challenge**: A broadcast facility transitioning to an IP-based infrastructure needs to maintain precise synchronization between legacy baseband equipment and new IP workflows without a large coaxial sync distribution system.
22+
23+
**Solution**: The 7800SRG-IP locks to a PTP grandmaster clock over Ethernet and provides six independent sync outputs, configurable as black burst, tri-level sync, or continuous wave signals to match the facility’s timing requirements.
24+
25+
**Benefit**: Ensures seamless synchronization between IP and baseband systems, reducing the need for extensive coaxial cabling while maintaining compatibility with legacy video equipment.
26+
27+
### Cost-Effective Sync Solution for Remote Production and Editing Suites
28+
29+
**Challenge**: A remote production studio requires a reliable sync source for multiple editing suites, but installing a traditional GPS-based master clock is impractical because of cost and infrastructure limitations.
30+
31+
**Solution**: The 7800SRG-IP derives timing from a PTP network source and distributes precise sync signals to each editing suite, eliminating the need for expensive external master clock systems.
32+
33+
**Benefit**: Provides a cost-effective and scalable synchronization solution, ensuring frame-accurate editing and smooth video playback without requiring a dedicated grandmaster clock at the remote site.
34+
35+
## Technical info
36+
37+
### Prerequisites
38+
39+
- **DataMiner version 10.2 or higher** is required for compatibility with the 7800SRG-IP connector.
40+
41+
> [!NOTE]
42+
> For in-depth information on configuring and using the DataMiner connector for 7800SRG-IP, refer to the [Technical help page](xref:Connector_help_Evertz_7800SRG-IP_Technical).

# Evertz 7800SRG-IP
6+
7+
The 7800SRG-IP is a PTP Slave Sync Generator designed to provide precise synchronization for hybrid IP and baseband broadcast environments.
8+
9+
The 7800SRG-IP acts as a reliable timing source by locking to an upstream PTP grandmaster clock over Ethernet and generating six independently configurable sync outputs. It supports various timing signals, including black burst, tri-level sync, continuous wave signals, and word clock, ensuring seamless synchronization across diverse broadcast and production workflows.
10+
11+
## Configuration
12+
13+
### Connections
14+
15+
#### SNMP Connection
16+
17+
This connector uses a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) connection and requires the following input during element creation:
18+
19+
SNMP CONNECTION:
20+
21+
- **IP address/host**: The polling IP or URL of the destination.
22+
- **IP port**: The IP port of the destination.
23+
24+
SNMP Settings:
25+
26+
- **Get community string**: The community string used when reading values from the device (default: *public*).
27+
- **Set community string**: The community string used when setting values on the device (default: *private*).
28+
29+
### Web Interface
30+
31+
The web interface is only accessible when the client machine has network access to the product.
32+
33+
## How to use
34+
35+
### General Page
36+
37+
You can find all the information related to the device general parameters on this page.
38+
39+
### Sync Page
40+
41+
The Sync table on this page has the following columns:
42+
43+
- **Mode**: Sets the sync output mode (e.g. black burst, tri-level sync, CW signals).
44+
- **VITC Control**: Enables Vertical Interval Timecode (VITC) on PAL or NTSC outputs.
45+
- **VITC Line \<1-2>**: Defines the VITC insertion lines (PAL: 6-31, NTSC: 10-30).
46+
- **Drop Frame Control**: Enables the drop frame bit for NTSC timecode.
47+
- **Color Frame**: Enables color frame reference for PAL or NTSC outputs.
48+
- **Set Jam Time**: Sets the jam time for video output.
49+
- **Jam Output**: Forces the output VITC time to match the reference.
50+
- **Time Offset**: Adjusts the timecode offset in frames for video outputs.
51+
- **Time Zone**: Sets the time zone for video outputs (-12:00 to +12:00 in 30-min steps).
52+
- **DST Control**: Enables automatic Daylight Saving Time (DST) adjustment.
53+
- **Ten Field Control**: Enables a ten-field pulse on NTSC outputs.
54+
- **Color Phase**: Adjusts the color frame phase (PAL: 1-4, NTSC: 1-2).
55+
- **Vertical Phase**: Adjusts the vertical sync phase.
56+
- **Horizontal Phase**: Adjusts the horizontal sync phase.
57+
