The instrumentation of large physics experiments needs to be synchronized down to few picoseconds. These experiments require different sampling rates for multi shot or single shot on each instrument distributed on a large area. Greenfield Technology presents a commercial solution with a Picoseconds Timing System built around a central Master Oscillator which delivers a serial data stream over an optical network to synchronize local multi channel delay generators. This system is able to provide several hundreds of trigger pulses within a 1ps resolution and a jitter less than 15 ps distributed over an area up to 10 000 m². The various qualities of this Picoseconds Timing System are presented with measurements and functions and have already been implemented in French facilities (Laser MegaJoule prototype - Ligne d’Intégration Laser- , petawatt laser applications and synchrotron Soleil). This system with different local delay generator form factors (box, 19” rack, cPCI or PXI board) and many possibilities of trigger pulse shape is the ideal solution to synchronize Synchrotron, High Energy Laser or any Big Physics Experiments.
