Antelope audio ISOCHRONE TRINITY
In the jungle of audio/video formats, Isochrone Trinity stands out as a master clock with unique features that will distinguish it from its competitors for many years to come. With its dedicated functions and controls, the new Trinity is simply the most powerful and versatile master clock on the market. Among its most notable features are audio frequencies up to 384 kHz, Varispeed function, 9 completely independent generators, and the triple display! Of course, all these features are paired with an intuitive user interface, simple and menu-free in the purest Antelope tradition.
Temperature Regulation
The crystal oscillators of the Isochrone Trinity are housed in a temperature-regulated oven, similar to those commonly used for military and satellite communications. Thus, the oscillator is maintained at a constant temperature, allowing the Isochrone to be 100 times more stable than similar products.
Atomic Clock
Isochrone Trinity can lock onto the most precise clock in the world: the atomic clock. This resolutely innovative Antelope technology makes Isochrone clocks the only tools capable of offering the perfect stability of the atomic clock to your studio.
New 64-Bit Design
Trinity is the culmination of years of research by Antelope developers. It features a brand-new integration design that further improves sound quality. The AFC (Acoustically Focused Clocking), the fourth generation of 64-bit DDS technology, plays a major role in the improvement Trinity brings to your converters' sound.
Video Sync
Recognizing that HD video was becoming a standard, we decided to equip Trinity not with one but three HD generators. Trinity allows you to synchronize or generate HD, PAL, and NTSC video signals, with all formats available simultaneously and perfectly synchronized. Each HD channel has 2 outputs; however, you can set all three HD generators to the same format to benefit from 6 physical outputs. Once again, very versatile!
Next-Generation Equipment
Choose the output format regardless of the source! Input a signal at 48 kHz and output at 44.1 kHz locked to the source to the sample. Input in NTSC and output in PAL or input at 96 kHz and output in NTSC. You can even lock the Black Burst generator to the audio clock.
User-Friendly Interface
With all the features described above, you might imagine Trinity is difficult to use. Well, it's not. Antelope places great emphasis on the user-friendliness of its hardware. There are no nested menus or unnecessary buttons, making Trinity immediately effective in all professional applications.
Sampling and Varispeed Function
With Trinity, you can now vary the scroll speed up to +/- 200 cents or adjust it as a percentage if you prefer. The sampling frequency selection has been optimized and extended from 32 to 384 kHz. You can choose virtually any sampling frequency thanks to the Varispeed adjustment and pull-up/pull-down functions.
USB Control
Given Trinity's numerous functions, we thought it would be interesting to equip it with USB control capability. This is particularly useful when the rack housing Trinity is out of reach. The USB 2.0 connection allows you to easily control Trinity from a Mac or PC, load and save presets, and update firmware.
Jitter Specifications
We are often asked about our jitter specifications. Thanks to our thermal regulation system and atomic technology, our jitter specifications surpass those of comparable products. However, it is more important to mention that our exclusive jitter processing through our AFC (Acoustically Focused Clocking) technology significantly improves sound quality than any jitter specifications might suggest. Now in its fourth generation for Trinity, our AFC technology enhances the sound quality of your converters more than ever.

Trinity: Generators Unlimited
With its nine simultaneous, completely independent generators, Trinity can do it all. This feature allows it to perform tasks that usually require multiple copies of other products. Trinity is the all-in-one solution that will save you time. Imagine! A single central nervous system with multiple frequencies and virtually all existing formats, all perfectly synchronized. Dream no more, it's Trinity.
Peace of Mind
Synchronization is an essential thing that should never be bewildering. That's why Trinity offers you simple dedicated controls for specific tasks, bright reminders for serious errors, comprehensive termination diagnostics, and a display that clearly indicates the frequency in use. Audio and video sync has never been easier!
