The PCIe-TCR card from Masterclock, references time code sources including IRIG-B0, IRIG-B1, SMPTE, EBU. This bus-level timing card provides millisecond accuracy to Windows applications. Both balanced and unbalanced time code inputs are supported. Whenever a time code source is not available or power is lost, the PCIe-TCR will generate its own time from an on-board oscillator.

HOLDOVER ACCURACY
With loss of power or time reference syncronization,
device reverts to an internal battery-backed real-time
clock chip with accuracy of ± 1min/year
HIGH-STABILITY OSCILLATOR OPTIONS
HSO-1 with TCXO provides accuracy of ± 3 seconds/year
HSO-2 with OXCO provides typical stability of ± 250ms/year after 30 days of aging
