SoundPals™ VRG-1
Video Referenced AES/Word Clock Generator


VRG-1In video applications, digital audio sample clocks must be locked to a video reference. The VRG-1 provides a means to do so, easily and cost effectively. This module produces word clock and silent AES outputs that are locked to an NTSC or PAL reference input. Use the VRG-1 in conjunction with the SoundPals ADC-24, DMIC- 24, DTG-1 or ADAT-3 modules, or with any other digital audio equipment that requires an AES or word clock reference signal that is locked to video.

Like all of the SoundPals line, the VRG-1 is housed in a compact, rugged aluminum enclosure.

Features include:

  • Looping video input accepts NTSC or PAL video, color black, or sync
  • Outputs for word clock, silent AES, and silent AES3id
  • Internal crystal oscillator provides stable 48kHz reference in the absence of an input signal
  • Dipswitch selection of mute outputs or revert to internal reference upon loss of input signal
  • Alarm output to warn of loss of input signal
