PHOTO - VIDEO - PRO AUDIO
The MDD-100 and MTD-100 both output 2v P-P reshaped time code for
passing on to other units, and both have a time zone switch that
permits changing the time zone to to display the local date of other
geographical areas anywhere on the globe. They operate from +9v to
+13v DC for portable use in the field, and include a 9v AC adapter.
Desktop sized, they both measure 8.5 x 1.5 x 3.25” (WxHxD).
GPS-MSG
GPS-Based Master Video Sync Generator
The GPS-MSG is a multiple output RS-170A "blackburst" and video sync
signal generator that is genlocked to the atomic clocks in the Global
Positioning System. The GPS-MSG quartz crystal master clock is
continuously phase controlled to accurately track the time from the GPS
satellites. GPS-MSG synchronized video is synchronous with all other
Horita GPS-MSG generated video signals anywhere worldwide, typically
within ±10μs, independent of their location on the globe.
◆ When used with the GPS-MTG SMPTE Master Time Code Generator,
the exact relationship established between the SMPTE time code and
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) allows the SMPTE time code to
function as an instrumentation time code. All GPS-MSG synchronized
cameras will record the same time for an event, with the exact UTC
time of any television frame and line number known and the time
code hours, minutes, seconds, and frames identical at any moment,
anywhere, worldwide.
◆ Video frames from widely separated GPS-MSG cameras or other video
sources start simultaneously and are scanned synchronously to within
less than 1H time. The long-term accuracy of the GPS-MSG is derived
from and equal to the world's best atomic clocks.
◆ 5 BNC outputs can include any mix of up to 5 black, 4 composite sync,
blanking, horizontal or vertical drive, 1 subcarrier, and 1KHz, 0dB
audio tone.
◆ Complete system includes ruggedized GPS Antenna/Receiver, 50’
GPS-to-MSG cable, power adapter, instruction manual.
◆ Occupies 1/3 of a standard Horita 1
3
⁄4” x 19” rack panel which can also
hold two additional Horita products, such as a GPS-MTG SMPTE
Master Time Code Generator and a VG-50 VITC Generator/LTC-VITC
translator.

MDD-100 Time Code
Alphanumeric Date LED Display
The MDD-100 is
a studio date
display which
reads SMPTE LTC
and provides
either a month/day/year, or day-of-week/month/day alphanumeric date
readout. Ideal date display device for use with the GPS-MTG master
SMPTE time code generator. The date (and time zone) comes from the
time code "user bit" data of the SMPTE time code input.
◆ Displays day-of-week/month/day (WED JAN 01), or month/day/year
(JAN 01 94).
◆ Eight digit alphanumeric LED display readout with .8” high red
characters provides good visibility and legibility from across a room.

MTD-100 Time Code
Time / Date LED Display
The MTD-100
is a studio
time/date
display which
reads SMPTE
LTC and provides either hours, minutes, and seconds time readout, or
month, day, and year date readout. The MTD-100 is an ideal display de-
vice for use with the GPS-MTG master SMPTE time code generator. The
time comes from the time code “time” value, while the date and time
zone come from the time code “user bit” data of the SMPTE time code.
◆ Time display format can be 12 hour AM/PM with four (10:15 P), or six
(10:15:06 P) digits, or 24 hour military style with six digits (22:15:26).
◆ Date display can be set to month/day/year (10-29-93), or
day/month/year (29-10-93).
◆ Display can also be set to alternate between time and date once per
second.
◆ Six digit 7-segment LED display with .8” high red characters provides
good visibility and legibility from across a room.
◆ Brightness control permits adjusting display intensity for indoor use
in a darkened room or outdoor use in bright light.

GR-8 Rackmount GPS Receiver
The GR-8 is a rackmount GPS receiver that works with all Horita GPS
products. The GR-8 has special input filtering for use in “dirty” power
situations, such as encountered in aircraft and automobile power
systems. The GR-8 simultaneously tracks eight satellites and provides
time, date, and position data outputs in both NMEA and TSIP formats,
and a 1-PPS output.
