Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with clock generation are provided. In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises a digital clock circuit. Receive logic is configured to receive a timing message from a network device, where the timing message includes timing information associated with a stream of content. Content logic is configured to process the stream of content. A frequency and a phase are determined from the timing information. The digital clock circuit is configured to generate a digital clock with the frequency and the phase, where the digital clock is used to control the content logic to process the stream of content.
