The time code/video phase analyzer display shows the exact timing relationship between time code and video. Continuous visual readout tells if (and at what point) time code is genlocked to video, permits precise adjustment of VCR tracking control when making window dubs, adjustment of audio deck speeds for time code playback, etc.

Time Code/RS-422 Products

RLT-50    $399    Picture   
RS-422 to LTC Time Code Translator

• Works with ALL Sony protocol (RS-422) controlled machines, Hi8, Betacam, U-Matic, 1-inch, videodisk, etc.

• Use when LTC is not directly available from VCR (or other machine) for operating audio synchronizers, making LTC copies or use with other HORITA LTC products to make window dubs, log source tapes, etc.

• Operates "stand alone" or inline with edit controller - includes DB-9 cable

• LTC output genlocked to video from VCR

• Switch selectable front panel preset of user bits

• Provides LTC time code at all tape speeds. Selectable forward direction only or forward/reverse direction LTC output format.

• High speed reading capability reads VITC and LTC at various VCR search/wind speeds, depending on channel bandwidth and tape formats

• LTC input source can be from an audio channel or a time code address track

• Front panel switches are provided to select between VITC or LTC, as well as select "auto" mode which automatically switches to VITC as a backup when reading LTC

• "Bypass" mode removes TCI-50 from the RS-422 data path

Time Code Processor

TCP-50    $499    Picture   
Time Code Processor

The TCP-50 is a universal SMPTE/EBU longitudinal time code processor that provides a variety of needed time code functions to keep up with the changes and requirements of dealing with multi format longitudinal time code.

• Translates between 23.976/24/25/29.97 and 30-FPS frame rates. For example, SMPTE time code in at 29.97-FPS, EBU time code out at 25-FPS.

• Substitute/replace input time code user bit data with manually entered user bit data on a "nibble-by-nibble" basis.

• Introduce any amount of positive or negative time offset, from frames to hours, between the input time code and output time code.

• Adjust phase relationship of the output time code with respect to the input time code or video.

• "Repair" bad time code due to noise, dropouts, damaged/missing bits, etc. Bad LTC in, good LTC out.

• Read and display time code and user bits.

• Time code analyzer measures and keeps track of common time code errors.

Time Code Video Clock

TVC-50    $449    Picture   
Time Code Video Clock

The TVC-50 reads SMPTE LTC time code and provides a video display of time and date, based on the time and user bit value and date from an internal clock/calendar. The TVC-50 provides numerous time and date display formats and is an ideal video time/date display device for use with the HORITA GPS-MTG master SMPTE time code generator.

• Make window dub copies with various time/date formats

• Time displays range from simple displays of hours/minutes, up to hours/minutes/seconds/tenths-second, as well as a display of the input SMPTE time code and user bit values

• Date displays range from simple month/year formats, to day-of-week/month/day/century-year.

• Various characters, such as space, hyphen, slash, etc., can be inserted as field delimiters (digit seperators).

• Video "downcounter" mode provides automatic display of 30 or 60 minute downcount to zero.

• Can also be used as a source ID generator to display up to 9 lines of 20 characters each. The source ID information as well as all setup data is retained in non-volatile memory, and can be displayed along with the time and date.

• The TDC-50 reads SMPTE time code and provides a video display of time and date, based on the time an user bit value of the SMPTE time code input or on the time and date from an internal clock/calendar.

• Selectable character attributes, for white/black, contrast, background on/off, flashing on/off, and horizontal and vertical size and position control.

• Outputs 2 volt p-p reshaped SMPTE time code for passing on to other units.

• Operates from +9 to +13 volts DC for portable use in the field. Includes 9 volt AC adapter.

TC Based Dual General Purpose Interface

GPI-50    $429    Picture   
TC Based Dual General Purpose Interface

Time code "coincidence detector" features two separately programmable GPI "trigger" outputs which occur when the input time code matches that of previously set GPI IN and OUT times.

• Use in video production and playback systems to operate switchers, mixers, initiate VCR recording or playback, operate strobe lights, trigger scientific experiments, etc.

• Pushbutton switches to "MARK", "TRIM", or "SET" IN and OUT times, plus a search speed SMPTE time code reader

• "TRIM +/-" and "SET IN/OUT" functions allow times to be adjusted by +/- 1-frame, 1-second, or 1-minute, or set to any arbitrary value

• "On Screen" display readout shows GPI selected, enabled/disabled, event duration, IN/OUT times marked, and relationship of times to present (tape) time

• Separate ENABLE and DISABLE for each GPI event. GPI-1 repeats every hour, GPI-2 repeats every 24 hours

• Output signals can be either a pulldown to ground for the duration of the event, or a pulse at the IN and OUT times

• All times and selections stored in non-volatile memory

Keyboard Time Code "Wedge"

TCW-50    $349    Picture   
Keyboard Time Code "Wedge"

The HORITA TCW-50 Time Code Wedge™ reads SMPTE LTC time code and sends the information to the PC as though it were typed in at the keyboard. The TCW-50 connects between the PC and keyboard, and is intended for applications requiring direct input of time code values into user software programs. Because there is no "wedge" PC software involved, the TCW-50 is compatible with any computer, computer system, or software program, regardless of whether the system is operating under DOS, WINDOWS, UNIX, etc. The only requirement is an IBM PC or compatible type of keyboard.

• Separate pushbutton switches for sending time code or user bit values to the PC and for clearing previous entries

• Switch selectable delimiters for: field separator, drop frame indicator, and end of line terminator

• "Learn mode" allows user to define special keyboard "hot keys" that cause the TCW-50 to automatically send time code or user bit values to the PC

• Outputs 2 volt P-P reshaped time code for passing to other units

• Bypass switch places TCW-50 into active or bypass mode

• Powered through keyboard cable and includes 1' and 5' cables for connecting between PC and PC keyboard
