It's hard to tell because this is one of the most poorly designed web sites I've ever seen. But from what I was able to read within the sea of distracting graphics it's a combination of a plugin and a hardware device that can be used to generate a much more stable MIDI clock than can be done in software. I think rather than using a timer in the computer and sending MIDI through the computer, you send sync pulses as an audio signal from the plugin out through the audio device, the hardware then monitors this signal and generates MIDI clocks. Besides avoiding the jittery environment within the computer this also allows the MIDI clocks to be generated with sample accurate positioning since the sync pulses are interleaved with the audio you hear. I'm guessing you need a multichannel audio device, and you dedicate one channel for the sync pulses and use the others for audible signals. I would imagine this would be useful for anyone that wanted to combine tracks in a DAW with patterns played by external hardware devices that follow MIDI clocks. There may be more but it took me 15 minutes just to get that far. This is a textbook example of how NOT to design web sites that market a product.

I mean, the problem with MIDI clock sync is not how it's governed but that the protocol in itself isn't very accurate, meaning the slaving device will have to play catch-up all the time; either it is a bit too fast and needs to slow down or it is a bit too slow and needs to speed up. If MIDI clock doesn't sound tight enough for your application I would rather use something else, like for example MTC or Rewire.
