I have a studio clock (Leitch 5225) that can be sync’d over SMPTE (or EBU). I will admit I’m still trying to digest all of this, but this seems like it should be possible.

Just enough to keep from having to reset the clock as it drifts (right now it’s referenced off line frequency, which is “okay” but will drift over the days/weeks/months… not to mention it’s only as accurate as I could set it in the first place. =)

I have an unfinished project aimed at Linux here:
