SMPTE Time Code Generator/Readers Synchronized to GPS Time
The GPS1, GPS2, and GPS3 provide exact time and position in SMPTE LTC format for
recording on tape. The code is synchronized to standard time through an interface to
a GPS receiver. Time synchronization provides direct correlation of GPS position data
with the video recording. GPS1 is used when only time synchronization is required
during video acquisition. Because each logged position has a GPS time-tag, the GPS
position data can later be matched to the associated videotape images by the
GPS1-synchronized time code. Improved position accuracy can be obtained by
applying differential correction when post-processing the raw GPS data logged in the
GPS receiver or computer. GPS2 and GPS3 products add the real-time position data to
the “user bits” of the SMPTE time code once per second. The position data is subject to
the accuracy limitation as imposed by GPS selective availability, unless real-time
differential correction is provided in the GPS receiver.
ADQ-50 Audio / Video Cue “Streamer”
The ADQ-50 is a low cost, small, desktop sized unit that
generates both video and audio cue prompts for use
during ADR, Foley, or other post production audio tasks
that require precise and repeatable timing or syncing of
audio responses to specific video action.
The ADQ-50 overlays a thin white vertical line which
sweeps across the screen from left to right. When the line
reaches the rightmost side of the screen it meets a vertical
white bar, and a square box is flashed for a few frames in
the center of the screen. The combination of the disappearing line and the flashing square visually
signals the start of the audio event.
In addition, as the line moves across the screen, the ADQ-50 outputs an audio cue pattern
consisting of three evenly spaced audio tones, which a fourth tone missing in sync with the
flashing square video prompt. The audio prompts also interact with the video display by turning
off the sweeping line when the tones sound, permitting use on sound stages or other environments
where low or zero volume levels are required.
The ADQ-50 reads SMPTE time code from 1/30th play speed up to 10x play speed, allowing the
user to quickly and easily locate the video cue point on the video monitor. A simple actuation of
the pushbutton MARK switch captures the time code time associated with the cue point. The
marked time can then be trimmed frame-by-frame to help zero in on the exact point at which the
ADR, Foley, or other audio event is to occur.
In OPERATE mode the ADQ-50 automatically “backtimes” or subtracts from this marked time and
starts the sweep display and audio tone cuing sequences when the incoming time code matches
the calculated backtime value. The cueing sequence ends with the square video prompt flashed in
the center of the screen when the incoming time code coincides with the marked time.
The ADQ-50 can also be triggered manually for rehearsal purposes or by RS232 serial data input
from a PC. Event times can be entered manually from a list by using the MARK switches or input
from the included QMe event list/control software.

AM-50
“On-Screen” Audio VU Meter
The AM-50 provides
a visual indication
of audio signal
amplitude. Dual
channel “bridging”
type audio inputs
accept balanced or
unbalanced (single ended) stereo audio inputs.
Balanced input range is selectable from 0dBu,
+4dBu, or +8dBu, single ended input range
from -20dBV, -10dBV, or -5dBV.
Various formats are provided for displaying the
audio levels, including those designed to take
up a minimum amount of on-screen video
space, those with a “see thru” mode, black
mask on/off, audio level markers on/off, etc.
Display format, size, and position selections are
saved in non-volatile memory.
◆ Channels can be individually identified as 0-9
A-F or as a group from 00-to-99 or 0-9 A-Z.
◆ Familiar “VU” meter response ballistics.
◆ Normal, peak, alarm, and phase check modes
are provided.
◆ Alarm mode leaves flashing “peak” reading
until display is manually reset.
◆ Phase check mode displays “In” or “Out”
phase condition.
