TCI-50 VITC/LTC Reader/RS-422 Inserter
The TCI-50 reads VITC or LTC time
code, translates and inserts the time
code numbers into an RS-422 data
stream going back to an edit con-
troller or PC.
◆ LTC input source can be from an
audio channel or a time code address track.
◆ Reads VITC and LTC at various search/rewind speeds, depending on
channel bandwidth and tape formats.
◆ Responds to controller commands for VCR time code location, as well as
cue, preroll, and other time code related commands.
◆ Select between VITC or LTC, or “auto” mode which automatically
switches to VITC as a backup when reading LTC.
◆ “Bypass” mode removes TCI-50 from the RS-422 data path
◆ Local mode (no VCR) translates SMPTE-to-RS-422 by emulating a VCR

UTG-50 Universal Time Code Generator
The UTG-50 generates
LTC time code at 24, 25,
29.97 or 30fps. Time
value can be derived
from external time code
input (jammed), from an external time code source, an internal real-time
clock/calendar chip, or GPS receiver RS-232 serial data input—which
can also be used to preset the UTG-50’s internal clock/calendar chip.
Date information can be embedded in the user bits of the time code.
Time code output can also be genlocked to an externally applied video
input signal if desired.
◆ Multiple “On-screen” menus provide quick and easy user setup of
UTG-50 operation.
◆ Various time and date display formats are provided for video overlay
of time and date.
◆ Add up to nine lines of twenty characters each of source ID to the
time/date display.
◆ Internal clock/calendar provides an accurate means of generating
“time/date” SMPTE/EBU time code.
◆ Video genlock feature allows accurate recording of time code on a
video recorder.

TCP-50 LTC Time Code Processor
The TCP-50 is a universal SMPTE/EBU
LTC processor that provides a variety
of needed time code functions to
keep up with the changes and re-
quirements of dealing with multi-for-
mat longitudinal time code.
◆ Translates between 23.976/24/25/29.97 and 30fps 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 or missing
bits, etc. Bad LTC in, good LTC out.
◆ Read and display time code and user bits.
◆ TC analyzer measures and keeps track of common timecode errors.
◆ Multiple “on-screen” menus provide quick and easy user setup
◆ Add up to nine lines of twenty characters each of source ID
information to the on-screen time code/user bit display.

TVC-50 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 timecode generator.
◆ Make window dub copies with various time/date formats.
◆ Time displays range from Hrs/Min to Hrs/Min/Sec/1/10 Seconds, as well
as direct display of the input SMPTE timecode 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 separators).
◆ Internal independent Clock/Calendar can be “Jam Set” to the input
SMPTE time and date values, if desired.
◆ Character attributes for White/ Black, Contrast, Background On/Off,
Flashing On/Off and Horizontal and Vertical size and position control.
◆ Can be used as a source ID generator to display up to 9 lines of 20
characters each. The source ID info, as well as all setup data, is retained
in memory and can be displayed along with the time and date.
◆ Video "downcounter" mode provides automatic display of 30 or 60
minute downcount to zero.
◆ Outputs reshaped SMPTE timecode for passing on to other units.
◆ Operates from +9v to +13v DC for use in the field (includes AC adapter).
