TIME CODE READERS

These six-digit (or four-digit) displays are designed to be “Universal” Time Code Readers. All models described below are able to auto-detect, read and display ESE (TC76TM, TC89TM or TC90TM), ASCII (format A, 0 or 1 @ 9600 baud; RS-232C, RS-422A or RS-485), EBU or SMPTE time code.

Setup Features allow the unit to display time in either 12 or 24 hour format and if reading ESE Time Code to display “Date” information and if reading SMPTE/EBU to display “User Bits”. An Error Detection and Correction Feature maintains flicker-free operation in the event of poor quality or loss of time code. An Error Detection Indicator is also included and the Error Correction Feature may be turned-off via an internal DIP switch.

Several Options are available with “U” Series Readers. LED color options of Amber, Blue, Green and Red can be specified on the 1”, 2”, 4” and 7” units with LED displays. Option “TZ” allows the unit to be “offset” to other time zones via an internal set of DIP switches. ESE and ASCII (RS-232C) time code outputs are also optionally available. Most units are available with a rack mount enclosure, option “P”. Other options are listed below.

Each Reader requires only a single pair of wires (or coax) between itself and the Master Clock (or other source of time code). The wiring arrangement can be parallel, serial or both. Please note that extra long cable runs may require a Distribution/Isolation Amplifier, refer to page 15 (ES-243) for more information.
