Zhongxin Chuangwei provides clock synchronization equipment to Visionox Technology.

Zhongxin Chuangwei provides clock synchronization equipment to Visionox Technology.

 

Recently, Visionox Technology issued a request for a time server. Beijing Zhongxin Chuang promptly collaborated to develop a detailed proposal and recommended its self‑developed and manufactured DNTS‑8 time server as the bid‑winning product. Following a highly competitive bidding process, Zhongxin Chuang stood out thanks to its high‑quality products and comprehensive after‑sales service, ultimately securing the contract for Visionox Technology’s time‑synchronization server project.

Visionox is a globally leading, innovative provider of comprehensive next‑generation display solutions. Founded in 2001, the company traces its origins to the Tsinghua University OLED (Organic Light Emitting Display) project team established in 1996. Guided by the vision of “expanding horizons and enhancing human visual experience” and the mission of “driving China’s OLED industry through technological innovation,” Visionox has been dedicated to the OLED field for more than two decades and has grown into a global leader in the OLED industry, integrating R&D, manufacturing, and sales.

Visionox Technology conducted an in-depth evaluation of the DNTS‑8 time server, independently developed by Zhongxin Chuang. The results exceeded all specified performance parameters, and the company expressed strong satisfaction with both our product quality and after-sales service, leading to a successful procurement and deployment.

 

 

The DNTS-8 time server, developed by Beijing Zhongxinchuang Technology Co., Ltd., is a high-tech, intelligent, stand-alone clock synchronization server that operates based on the NTP/SNTP protocols and delivers high precision. The DNTS-8 time server obtains standard clock signal information from GPS geostationary satellites and transmits this information across the network, enabling devices requiring time signals—such as computers and controllers—to synchronize with the standard clock. When all receivers lose signal, the DNTS-8 relies on its built-in temperature-compensated crystal oscillator for timekeeping, achieving a timing accuracy of up to 1E-9. The DNTS-8 uses standard clock information transmitted over TCP/IP networks and supports multiple popular time‑broadcasting protocols, including NTP and time/UDP; it can also accommodate custom‑defined time‑broadcast packets from Zhongxinchuang Technology, with configurable UDP ports. The port numbers for NTP and time/UDP are fixed at 123 and 37, respectively, as specified in RFC-123 and RFC-37. Additionally, the DNTS-8 supports the broadcast mode of the SNTP protocol.
