microSync XS
Ultra-Compact NTP Server and PTP Clock
The microSyncXS is a fully-featured GNSS-synchronized NTP & PTP time server. With two PTP-capable network ports operable either in timeTransmitter or timeReceiver mode, the microSyncXS is operable as a high-accuracy grandmaster, boundary clock or ordinary clock.
Naturally, the microSyncXS is also a powerful NTP server and programmable clock signal generator, capable of producing a wide variety of reference signals via three programmable pulse outputs (e.g. PPS, 10 MHz, DCLS timecode).
Providing two IEEE 1588 ports, the microSyncXS models are powerful GNSS-synchronized PTP Grandmasters offering a high level of accuracy. With full support for practically every published PTP profile, including the SMPTE 2059-2 Profile and AES67 Media Profile, the microSyncXS is perfect as an ultra-compact PTP Grandmaster solution for outside broadcasting vans and other situations where space is at a premium.
Equipped with a fully-featured version of the powerful, synchronization-centric meinbergOS operating system, the microSyncXS offers up all of the security and flexibility that the microSync family is known for. These include the new features introduced in the latest meinbergOS versions, specifically LDAP, TACACS+, and RADIUS authentication, native PRP for NTP and PTP traffic, industry-specific network functionality such as IEC 61850 MMS support, detailed analysis features for GNSS reception and clock performance, and also a fully integrated version of Meinberg’s PTP monitoring solution, PTP Track Hound.
