Synchronization of Multiple Systems
What is Sync?
All complex digital systems require synchronization of the various elements for proper operation. In the Pliant Technologies CrewCom system, this is accomplished via a sync packet that is transmitted at regular intervals by the master Control Unit and is consequently received by all other devices on a proprietary network (CrewNet.) This sync packet contains critical information for each device to operate correctly and stay in synchronization with all other devices on the network. Without a correct and robust sync signal, the CrewCom system will not function properly.
Since the CB2, CrewCom, and X-System are designed on the same platform, their respective sync signals can be passed from one to the other (via cabling) in order to coexist and avoid interfering with one another. Two CB2 BaseStations can be synchronized to operate properly when collocated or receive sync from one CrewCom system or CoachComm's X-System.
