Professional Master Clocking for Digital Audio and Video Systems
The Antelope Audio Trinity 384 kHz HD Master Clock is a next-generation digital clocking system designed for the most demanding audio and video production environments. With triple clock generators operating independently, ultra-low jitter performance, and up to 384kHz audio support, Trinity delivers industry-leading timing accuracy across audio, SD, and HD video formats. It’s a powerful solution for mastering studios, broadcast facilities, and post-production houses that require rock-solid synchronization for large, complex setups.
Triple Clock Generators for Advanced Syncing Flexibility
Unlike conventional master clocks, Trinity provides three completely independent clock generators, allowing simultaneous generation of audio, SD video, and HD video clock signals. Each generator supports multiple output formats, with extensive pull-up and pull-down options for seamless integration into European and North American broadcast systems. This multi-format capability makes Trinity uniquely suited to environments working with hybrid or international signal chains.
384kHz Audio Support with Varispeed Control
Trinity’s audio clocking capabilities are second to none, supporting sample rates up to 384kHz with adjustable varispeed control in 0.1-cent increments up to ±200 cents. This level of control is essential for syncing to film projectors, analog tape machines, or creative workflows requiring subtle timing changes. Antelope’s 64-bit Acoustically Focused Clocking (AFC) system ensures ultra-precise digital audio performance with an exceptionally focused stereo image.
Oven-Controlled Oscillator for Thermal Stability
To maintain the highest level of timing accuracy, the Trinity’s crystal oscillator is housed inside a temperature-controlled oven. This ensures that the oscillator remains at a constant thermal state, dramatically improving frequency stability. This technology, borrowed from aerospace and military communication systems, gives Trinity a measurable edge in clock stability over competing designs, especially in varying studio climates.
Atomic Clock Input for Ultimate Timing Accuracy
Trinity features an atomic clock input, enabling it to lock to the most stable clock source available: an external Rubidium atomic reference. This allows high-end studios and broadcast facilities to achieve unmatched timing precision for mission-critical operations. For workflows requiring absolute consistency, the combination of oven-controlled oscillation and atomic reference input makes Trinity the centerpiece of timing infrastructure.
USB Control and Preset Management for Workflow Integration
Trinity is equipped with USB connectivity for control via macOS and Windows software. Engineers can load and save configuration presets, update firmware, and control all parameters remotely, offering added convenience for rack-mounted installations or live setups. Its intuitive front panel design also allows quick adjustments without navigating complex menus, saving time in fast-paced environments.
Redundant Power Supplies for Uninterrupted Performance
The unit is equipped with dual redundant power supplies featuring automatic failover. This is essential for broadcast and live production where uptime is non-negotiable. Trinity ensures continuous operation and clock distribution even in the event of a power module failure, making it a dependable choice for high-stakes applications.
