  • TCRSYNC-NTP is an NTP/SNTP primary time server software package that runs on a Windows® NT/2000/XP/2003/VISTA workstation or server platform.
  • Operates with the following PCI cards : TCR500-PCI/MCRPCI/GPSPCI
    (note: does not include the TCR1000 time code reader).
  • Requires that the PC card, drivers, and free synchronization software provided with the PCI card is installed first.
  • Sold separately.

Optional software - TCRSYNC-NTP provides NTP reference for heterogeneous operating systems on an Ethernet LAN, based on TCR500 time code input.
