3.3 TIMER
This submenu handles some features in the case that the GM-TTT works as a central unit of
the Alpermann+Velte MTD Time-Timer-Time Code system. Alpermann+Velte developed the
Multiple Time Display System (MTD). This system supplies the video studio with time
information as local time, date, time code, VTR time code, stop timers etc. A MTD system
consists of a central generator, digital displays and/or index clocks as well as operational
units. The central generator generates a specific LTC format which is referred to as LTC(MTD)
in this document. The LTC(MTD) transfers data to all digital displays and includes the time
information mentioned above. The operational units communicate with the central generator
via a RS485 bus and are connected to the LTC(MTD)/RS485 connector.
