The CG Series master clock generators are based on a high-precision crystal oscillator with jitter management and glitch-free relocking for ultra-high clock precision. The CG-2000 is designed for the needs of broadcasting and post production, the CG-1800 for small to large-scale video/audio synchronization systems, and the CG-1000 (discontinued) for recording studios, live sound applications and professional musicians.
