Signal Synchronization and Timing

The Mentor RG is a professional 1RU signal sync, test, and clock generator designed for SDI and IP-based broadcast environments. It delivers precise timing references using IEEE-1588 PTP alongside traditional Black Burst and Tri-Level sync signals, ensuring accurate synchronization across complex systems.

Multi-Format Signal Generation

This unit supports a wide range of video and audio formats within a single device. It can generate SD and HD reference signals simultaneously, including 525 and 625 standards, making it suitable for mixed-format broadcast workflows.

GPS-Based Precision Timing

The Mentor RG uses a highly accurate GPS reference system to generate stable timecode and synchronization signals. It can also lock to external timing sources, ensuring reliability in mission-critical environments.

Redundancy and Reliability

Designed for continuous operation, the Mentor RG supports redundant configurations with dual units and automatic changeover. It also offers a redundant power supply option to maintain uptime in critical broadcast applications.

Advanced Control and Monitoring

The system features intuitive front panel controls for quick access, along with a browser-based Vector configuration tool for remote setup and monitoring. Dual Ethernet ports provide dedicated connections for management and PTP timing.

Flexible Expansion Options

With support for multiple optional modules, including tri-level sync, HD-SDI outputs, and GPS boards, the Mentor RG can be customized to meet specific operational requirements without needing factory returns.
