| Lucid GENx192 Details
Known for their no-compromise digital conversion, Lucid's new GENx192 Master Clock can give your present system a serious boost in audio performance. Able to convert any input frequency between 28kHz-216kHz, it uses Lucid's state-of-the-art JIF™ (Jitter Input Filtering) technology to output a clean, jitter-free signal. If the input signal goes away, it will simply switch to its internal oscillator and generate a rock-solid clock - dropouts are not a problem! The GENx192 also performs multiple sample rate conversion (e.g. output both 48kHz and 192kHz from a 96kHz input), plus, the GENx192 can synchronize up to 14 digital devices.
Lucid GENx192 Features
Ultra-Low Jitter Technology Let's face it, all jitter is measurable - Lucid knows, they've taken the measurements. The GENx192 is arguably the most advanced affordable Master Clock ever made. Lucid uses extremely low jitter crystal oscillators internally, and a pair of VCOs (voltage controlled oscillators) to convert any input frequency to a rock solid output. Any frequency input, that is, between 28 kHz and 216 kHz.
A synthesized clock is not better - Lucid relies on JIF™ (Jitter Input Filtering) on the input signal to remove jitter before sending it to the outputs. This is state-of-the-art technology that works. The signal comes in as a jittery clock and is converted to a DC control voltage that drives the oscillators. The GENx192 simply outputs a clean, jitter-free signal.
Flexible Format Conversion and Multiple Sample Rate Conversion External AES and Word clock inputs are simultaneously converted to AES, Word clock and S/PDIF outputs. It's that simple. Plus, the GENx192 handles multiple sample rate conversion. For example, if you input 96 kHz the GENx192 Master Clock can simultaneously output 48 kHz and 192 kHz... it's that easy.
Word Clock Distribution Also, the GENx192 Master Clock can synchronize up to 14 external devices at one time. If the input signal goes away, the GENx192 will simply switch to its internal oscillator and generate a rock solid clock. Dropouts are not a problem for the GENx192, period.
Automatic Word Clock Termination Termination issues are not an issue with TS-75™ - Elaborate audio clock chains are often improperly terminated. The GENx192 features TS-75™, 75-Ohm input/output termination and tri-state LEDs that indicate proper or improper termination on all Word clock connections. Troubleshooting is a breeze. Proper termination is easily achieved.
The world's easiest interface Other clocks use a complicated user interface, but Lucid keeps it simple. No menus, no scrolling, just a simple user interface. You'll be sync'd and ready to go in no time.
