HORITA
VLT-50 VITC-to-LTC Translator
■ Translates VITC into LTC at play speed and at search speeds from
±20x play speed down to still frame.
■ LTC output can be read by other Horita LTC products to display the
VITC time code numbers frame-by-frame, make window dubs, etc.
■ VLT-50 Auto Select mode automatically routes externally applied LTC
directly to the LTC output if VITC is unreadable or not present.
■ LTC output can operate time code-based editing systems that use LTC
rather than VITC and can be used to synchronize audio or video
recorders requiring LTC, or to make LTC copies, etc.
■ Switch selectable forward only or bi-directional forward/reverse LTC
output from the VLT-50 insures compatibility with a variety of LTC
readers, edit controllers and synchronizers.
■ Switch selectable “Search Offset” (when translating VITC at search
speeds or at still frame) compensates for the “On Time” updating done
by many LTC readers and edit controllers.
■ Regenerates VITC for edit system record deck when used with VG-50.

VITC Reader/Window Dub Inserter
■ Compatible with all VCR formats.
Intended for use in locating material
on tape according to its VITC time-
code number

dub copies.
■ Adjustments for H and V size and position
■ On-Screen Video/VITC Field 1/2 indicator

■ Translates LTC (Audio) time code into VITC time code
■ “Jamsync” mode presets VITC time code to LTC input
■ Generates VITC in Drop-Frame or Non-Drop-Frame format
■ Simple “On Screen” preset of time code or User Bits
■ Front panel switch selection of line pairs for VITC placement
■ Selectable 30/60/90/120-sec. automatic generator back-time

Horita’s VITC (Vertical Interval Time Code) products generate and read VITC, as well as interface into LTC systems. The
VG-50 also includes the Time-Code Analyzer display for showing the exact timing relationship between time code and video.
VWG-50PC and VLT-50PC
All the features of their respective cousins
(VGW-50 and VLT-50), the PC versions add:
■ Communication with PC using RS-232 serial port. No plug-in
cards required — you can log in the field using a laptop.
Includes TC-TOOLKIT Tape Logging Software (See next page)
VIC-50
Ver tical Interval Cleaner
The ten or so lines of the RS-170A
composite video signal’s vertical
interval has evolved into a popular
medium for handling various time, test and control codes. As the com-
posite video signal is processed and recorded, the Vertical Interval can
end up containing several time codes (VITC, multiline SMPTE VTC,
Video disk frame codes, etc.), Vertical Interval Reference (VIR) and
Vertical Interval Test (VIT) signals, as well as various other proprietary
control codes and timing signals that have been inserted along the way.
If you need to insert new information or test /control signals into the
vertical interval yourself, you may run into problems if the interval is
already filled up. If you have a composite video feed with unwanted data
or test signals in the vertical interval, the VIC-50 provides an inexpensive
way of restoring it back to its original black level.
■ Cleans the entire Vertical Interval of added signals
■ Selectable Black Level of 7.5 or 0 IRE
■ Multiple outputs
■ Operates from 9v DC, supplied with an AC adapter
