Kithara Software has announced support for the Precision Time Protocol (IEEE 1588 v2), which allows network participants to be precisely synchronized by Kithara Realtime Suite. Precision Time Protocol (PTP) can be used, for example, to synchronize image data from cameras, determine accurate measurement data or perform parallel robotics tasks. Kithara's PTP stack allows the precise generation of time stamps with deviations in the sub-microsecond range for precise computer synchronization. By connecting to GPS, computers can be synchronized worldwide. The Best Master Clock Algorithm (BMCA) can be used for synchronization, which determines the participant with the most accurate system time within a network and sets this as the reference for all other participants. With the PTP stack, both raw Ethernet and IP/UDP can be used as the transport layer. Selected PTP-compatible network controllers are supported for precise hardware timestamping. The priorities according to which the BMCA is determined can be defined in the API.
