The AVG-50 works with SD analog composite video and generates standard SMPTE VITC time code and inserts it into the first few lines of active video rather than into the vertical interval where normal VITC is located. This allows the VITC time code to be recorded on various digital video recorders that record the picture content but do not record the actual vertical interval portion of the video signal and in this way allows you to use these digital video recorders to record high quality video and VITC time code.
Because the VITC time code is on the first few lines of active video it is not easily noticed on many standard video monitors or television receivers and because it's in the active picture part of the video signal it also does not get removed by time base correctors, frame stores, and most other downstream video processing equipment.
