5700MSC-IP
IP Network Grand Master Clock & Video Master Clock System
Revision 0.2 Page - 1
1. OVERVIEW
Figure 1-1: Front View of the 5700MSC-IP
The 5700MSC-IP is an IP Network Grand Master Clock and a Video Master Sync Generator both
referenced to GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System (GPS and/or GLONASS)). The system
features two 1Gb/s Ethernet, two 10Gb/s Ethernet SFP ports, 6 fully timeable sync outputs, 4 SDI
outputs, and a loop thru reference input. For those hybrid plants where LTC outputs and AES/analog
audio test generator signals required, an optional (+AUX) expansion module is available.
This combo IP Network Grand Master Clock and Master Sync Generator is ideal for timing today’s IP
based video broadcast, production, and distribution facilities. It provides all the future timing needs of
an IP based plant while providing precision reference to any baseband SDI/Analog systems.
The test generator option(s) provide several test generator signals which are available on the 4 SDI
(SD/HD/3Gbps) outputs as well as over the 10Gb/s Ethernet IP outputs (10Gb/s Ethernet SFP’s are
optional). There are 10 independent test signal generators when a test generator option is ordered,
any can be routed to the 10Gb/s Ethernet outputs, or the SDI outputs (4 generators may be combined
to form a 4K signal generator).
As for IP timing formats, the 5700MSC-IP has been designed to be enterprise class, handling all
current IP timing needs with the horsepower to address the future. It supports NTP, PTP-IEEE1588,
MASTER PCR, AVB-IEEE802.1AS, AES67 profile and SMPTE 2059-2. IP networking for live
production and broadcast environments have very specific needs and requirements that typically
involve deterministic flows, high bandwidth, and an SDN based network design. The 5700MSC-IP can
be used to design a robust, safe, and deterministic timing system for any IP Network or Hybrid
IP/Baseband Video system. The product has been designed to handle timing requirements of several
thousands of PTP clients. The 5700MSC-IP has two 10Gb/s Ethernet ports as well as two 1Gb/s
Ethernet ports that can be configured to provide and distribute any of the timing protocols described
above.
This 5700MSC-IP is delivered with a GNSS head capable of receiving GPS and GLONASS satellite
constellation signals and complete with a 50ft cable for remote mounting. (100ft, 400ft and fiber optic
extension options are available for longer cable lengths).
A high stability, temperature controlled oscillator provides the 5700MSC-IP with better than 1.0x10-8
(or 0.01ppm) frequency reference. The free running drift of this 10MHz reference will be less than
0.1Hz (which amounts to less than one millisecond time drift per day). This guarantees that any
frequency drift, with time and temperature, will be within the tolerances expected from the best SPGs
or master clocks available in the industry. Note that the provided GNSS head capable of receiving
GPS and GLONASS satellite constellation signals is required for PTP, AVB PCR, or 2059-2 timing
protocols to be hosted by the system. The 5700MSC-IP can also produce PTP, AVB, PCR or 2059-2
timing protocols when using a PTP reference of suitable quality.

5700MSC-IP
IP Network Grand Master Clock & Video Master Clock System
Page - 2 Revision 0.2

1.1. QUICK START GUIDE
This section discusses the major steps in getting a new installation of a 5700MSC-IP up and running.
1.1.1. Mounting and Power Connections
The 5700MSC-IP chassis holds the main board, one power supply, and one fan module. Dual power
supplies are an available option in which case a second power supply replaces the fan module. The
chassis has built-in rack mounting ears and fits in a standard 19” rack. Two fans on each side cool the
unit. Clearance of 2” (5cm) must be maintained around the fan exhausts on either side of the chassis.
The power supply operates from an AC line frequency of 50Hz to 60Hz, at 100V-240V (auto-sensing).
The fan module runs off of the single power supply. The power consumption of a 5700MSC-IP is 125
Watts with all options installed.
If dual power supplies are fitted, they should both be supplied with AC power. Each power supply has
its own IEC C14 AC power inlet. The inlets are isolated from each other and can be powered by the
same AC power source but ideally should be powered from different AC sources for true redundancy.
If both supplies are not powered, the unpowered supply will trigger a system fault. A redundant power
supply may be added at any time to a unit by removing the fan module and installing the second power
supply.
The fan module is hot swappable and the power supplies are hot swappable when configured with
dual power supplies. The fan module and power supplies can accessed from the front of the unit by
removing the front panel. Each power supply and fan module has a Phillips mounting screw at the
front that can be used to secure the module in order to prevent accidental removal.
1.1.2. Front Panel Installation
The 5700MSC-IP comes with a removable front panel that is equipped with two color LCD screens,
along with 10 pushbuttons, and a control knob for navigating the menu system and configuring the
unit. The front panel is secured by the two thumbscrews on either end. The front panel can be
removed and re-installed while the unit is running to provide access to the power supplies and for
troubleshooting purposes. When re-installing the front panel be sure to fully tighten the thumb screws.

Note: Care should be taken when handling the front panel to not inadvertently
disconnect the ribbon cable connection on the 7800MSC-IP card or the 5700-AUX
card.
When AC power is applied to the 5700MSC-IP and the power supplies are switched on, the unit will
start up automatically. The front panel should become operative within approximately 30 seconds.
1.1.3. Configuring the Ethernet Ports
The 5700MSC-IP chassis houses a 7801FC-IRD frame controller board and a 7800MSC-10G master
clock board. The 7800MSC-10G master clock board has five Ethernet interfaces. The two 1Gb/s and

5700MSC-IP
IP Network Grand Master Clock & Video Master Clock System
Page - 4 Revision 0.2
two 10Gb/s ports are located on the rear plate of the 7800MSC-10G, while the frame Ethernet port
shares the frame controller’s Ethernet port, and hence the same IP subnet. Each of the master clock
board interfaces must be configured with unique, valid IP addresses on separate IP subnetworks.
Please refer to Figure 1-2 as an example of how this is done.

Press the GENERAL button on the front panel to access the general setup menu. This menu can be
used to configure the two 1Gb/s Ethernet ports, the frame Ethernet port and the two 10Gb/s Ethernet
SFP ports on the 5700MSC-IP. The 1GigE 1, 1GigE 2, 10GigE 1 and 10GigE 2 ports are used to carry
mission-critical data, such as PTP, NTP and PCR. The frame Ethernet port is used for management
purposes (VistaLink Pro, syslog, firmware updates, etc.).
The current menu selection will be indicated by the >character. Rotate the control knob or press the 
and buttons to select the IP Control menu item and press the SELECT button or depress the knob.
Assign an unused IP address and subnet mask to the the two 1Gb/s Ethernet ports, the frame
Ethernet port and the two 10Gb/s Ethernet SFP ports. The five ports must be on separate subnets in
order to function properly. When entering an IP address, the control knob can be used to set each
octet. Depress the control knob while turning to adjust in larger steps. The Ethernet link status and
current IP settings can be viewed by pressing the STATUS button and selecting the the either of the
two 1Gb/s Ethernet ports, the frame Ethernet port or either of the two 10Gb/s Ethernet SFP ports
status screens.
If SNMP monitoring or control of the unit is desired, the SNMP feature must first be enabled (it is
disabled by default). Select the GENERAL menu and press ESC to return to the root menu. Scroll

1.1.4. Selecting and Connecting the Frequency References
Pressing the INPUT button on the front panel will select the input menu. From here the frequency and
time references of the unit can be configured. Use the control knob to select the Frequency Ref menu
item and press SELECT or depress the knob. The Reference Src menu item selects six different ways
the 5700MSC-IP can lock its master oscillator.
•GNSS Mobile – The 5700MSC-IP will look for a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)
antenna attached to the GPS port on the back of the unit. This mode is intended for applications
where the location of the GNSS antenna is movable such as mobile production trucks. Start-up
time before receiving data is optimized assuming the location may have changed from the
previous time.
•GNSS Fixed – The 5700MSC-IP will look for a GNSS antenna attached to the GPS port on the
back of the unit. This mode is intended for applications where the location of the GNSS antenna
is fixed. Start-up time before receiving data will be longer the first time the unit is first powered
up as the antenna determines the fixed location. Subsequent start-up times will be shorter as
the unit assumes the location has not changed from the previous time.

The GPS Enable and GLONASS Enable menu items in the Engineering Menu control
whether the receiver will lock to satellites from the GPS and/or GLONASS Global
Navigation Satellite Systems.
With either the GNSS Mobile or GNSS Fixed menu choices, the ovenized oscillator inside the
5700MSC-IP will lock to the 1PPS pulse from the GNSS antenna. This provides a very
accurate frequency reference to the unit. The high precision time and date provided by the
GNSS antenna is used to phase the outputs of the 5700MSC-IP by referencing them to a
specific point in GNSS time. Multiple 5700MSC-IP units locked to GNSS will all have the same
phase on their outputs. This also means the time reference will be forced to GNSS.
•Ten MHz – The 5700MSC-IP will look for a 5MHz or 10MHz reference on its reference loop
input, frame reference 1, or frame reference 2. The 5MHz/10MHz reference should come from a
source that has higher stability than the internal oscillator of the 5700MSC-IP such as a
Rubidium or Caesium frequency standard. A 5MHz or 10MHz reference does not provide any
phase information and the phase of the outputs will not be the same between different
5700MSC-IP units.
•Video – The 5700MSC-IP will genlock to an analog black burst or HD tri-level reference applied
to its reference loop input, frame reference 1, or frame reference 2. The frequency stability of

5700MSC-IP
IP Network Grand Master Clock & Video Master Clock System
Page - 6 Revision 0.2
the 5700MSC-IP will be only as good as that of the reference input. The phase of the outputs
will be aligned to that of the reference input.
•Internal – The 5700MSC-IP will free run on its internal high stability ovenized oscillator. Select
this option if no external reference is available to the unit.
•1588 – The 5700MSC-IP can synchronize with a PTP master to determine a frequency
reference.
There are three other menu items that control how the 5700MSC-IP locks to its reference. These are
Genlock Range, Genlock Source, and Lock type. Press the HELP button for a short description on
what each menu item does.
1.1.5. Selecting and Connecting Time References
Once the desired frequency reference has been selected and the antenna/reference connections have
been made, the time reference should be selected. The time reference is how the 5700MSC-IP
obtains time and date for the system clock. Press the INPUT button to access the input menu. Return
to the root level by pressing ESC a few times. Select the Time menu using the control knob and press
SELECT. Use the Reference Src menu item to choose a time reference for the unit. There are other
menu items that control how the 5700MSC-IP handles the time reference. Press the HELP button to
identify the function of each item.
•GNSS – When a GPS or GLONASS receiver is connected to the unit, it can obtain continuous
time and date updates from GNSS. If the frequency reference has been set to one of the GNSS
modes, the time reference will also be forced to GNSS. However it is also possible to use a
frequency reference other than GNSS (such as video) and still use GNSS as a very accurate
time reference. See note above regarding GLONASS operation.
•VITC – The 5700MSC-IP will look for Vertical Interval Time Code on the selected line of a black
burst signal that is applied to the reference loop input, frame reference 1, or frame reference 2.
It can also decode date information from the user bits in several different formats. In order to
use VITC as a time reference, the frequency reference must first be set to Video.
•None – The 5700MSC-IP will not acquire time from any outside source. The time and date must
be manually entered using the front panel in the GENERAL menu. The high frequency stability
of the unit and battery backup will ensure the 5700MSC-IP keeps fairly accurate time.
•SNTP – The 5700MSC-IP can synchronize once daily to time and date from an NTP server.
•1588 – The 5700MSC-IP can synchronize with a PTP master to determine the time and date.
1.1.6. Configuring PTP
The 5700MSC-IP may be configured to provide Precise Time Protocol (PTP), which is designated as
IEEE1588-2008, using the default IEEE1588 Annex J profile, the SMPTE 2059-2 Professional
Broadcast Environment profile or the AES 67 profile. Furthermore, the 5700MSC-IP may be configured
to function in roles of PTP GrandMaster, PTP Master, PTP Slave, and PTP Boundary Clock. The
following sections outline configuration of each of the PTP parameters and options.

1.1.9. Wiring the Outputs
Most outputs are provided as HD-BNC connectors and wiring is straightforward. The GigE 1 and GigE
2 ports use a standard RJ-45 connector, and the 10GbE ports require an SFP10G-TR13-A (not
included).
1.1.10. Configuring the Sync Outputs
The sync outputs of the 5700MSC-IP are configured in the OUTPUT menu, accessed by pressing the
OUTPUT button. All sync outputs are derived from the master oscillator and will be locked in frequency
and phase. The sync outputs are all programmable to output several different sync types and can be
phased independently from each other.
In the OUTPUT menu, the sync outputs are configured using the SYNC 1 to SYNC 6 sub-menus.
Each sync output can set to output any number of black burst or HD tri-level standards. They are all
phased independently. When configuring a sync output, the mode must be selected first. By default,
the mode of all sync outputs are set to NTSC-M black burst for North American units, and PAL-B black
burst for European units. Configure the mode of each sync output to the format desired for the
installation. Note that with +AUX option, the 10MHz and WC outputs may also be configured as sync
outputs.
There are numerous other configuration settings for each sync output, some may be disabled (dark
text) or enabled (white text) depending on the output mode selected. Scroll over each of the available
menu items and press the HELP button for more information on the function of each menu item.

1.1.11. Configuring the Test Generator Outputs
The unit has been equipped with four SDI video test generators on HD-BNC outputs. Each generator
can output a number of SDTG, HDTG, or 3GTG options. These are configured in the TG 1, TG 2, TG
3, and TG4 menus. If the 4K Test Generator Option is installed, these four SDI spigots may be
configured to act together for a quad-link, single Ultra HD Test Generator (Square Division) or a quad-
link, single 2SI Test Generator (Sequential Interleave); when this is done, all four links are controlled
by SDI TG 1. All test generators are derived from the master oscillator and will be automatically
locked in frequency and phase. The test generators are independent from one another and can be
configured to different formats and different phase offsets. By default, all phases will be aligned to the
selected frequency reference.
The unit also has two 10GbE ports that can output test generators if the +10G-TG option is ordered.
Each 10GbE port can output 3 test generators, which can be configured in the TG 5, IP 1a; TG6, IP1b;
TG7, IP1c; TG8, IP2a; TG9, IP2b; and TG10, IP 2c menus. Encoding options include SMPTE 2110
and ASPEN, based on the firmware that is installed.
The quickest and easiest way to discover how to configure the outputs is to scroll through the available
menu items and press the HELP button for a description of each menu item function.
1.1.12. Configuring the Time Outputs
All time outputs from the unit come from the System Time clock. This clock can be viewed by pressing
the STATUS button and selecting the System/In time screen. When the time reference is obtained
from a GNSS sources, the system time will be Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). UTC time is the
same at all locations around the world.
In order to output local time, the Time Zone must be selected to match the time zone offset of your
location. For example, in North America, Eastern Standard Time (EST) is UTC –5:00 hours. Central
Standard Time (CST) is UTC –6:00 hours. Mountain Standard Time (MST) is UTC –7:00 hours. Pacific
Standard Time is UTC –8:00 hours. The 5700MSC-IP also supports Daylight Savings Time, which
must be enabled separately for each time output. Below are descriptions of the time outputs available
from the 5700MSC-IP.
•Sync Outputs – When a Sync output mode is set to NTSC-M or PAL-B black burst, VITC time
can be inserted onto two lines in the vertical blanking interval. The VITC is controlled by the Vitc
Ctl, Vitc Line 1, Vitc Line 2, Dropframe Ctl, Color Frame, Set Jam Time, Jam Output, Jam all
Vitc, Time offset, Time Zone, and DST enable menu items.
•Server Protocols – The 5700MSC-IP will support Network Time Protocol and Precision Time
Protocols. These are configured by pressing the GENERAL button and entering the NTP rules,
PTP All ports, PTP GigE 1, PTP GigE 2, PTP 10G 1, and PTP 10G 2 sub-menus. The
5700MSC-IP hosts an NTP server and also sends out periodic NTP broadcasts. NTP time
should always be UTC. PTP broadcast rates are determined using the PTP sub-menus listed
above.
•Test Generator Outputs – Timecode can be “burned-in” at the bottom of any of the the
5700MSC-IP test signal outputs. These are configured by pressing the OUTPUT button and
entering the appropriate TG menu. The time is controlled by the TC Burn In, Dropframe Ctl, Set
Jam Time, Jam Output, Jam all VitcLtc, Time Offset, Time Zone, and DST enable sub-menu
items.
