EBU timecode is used in broadcast applications for ‘stamping’
time information on recordings and for the control of clocks
and other intelligent systems. EBU time code is used in PAL
and SECAM applications at 25 frames per second.
The signal data rate for EBU is 2000 bits per second, with each
frame of data comprising 80 bits. The EBU standard defines
the format for hours, minutes, and seconds information. Date
information can be added to the signal in a number of formats
within ‘user bit’ areas.
The EBU output is available on the TimeLord-Lite and
TimeLord-Net / Net-Client versions.
TimeLord-Net versions are fitted with both 600Ω and low impedance
outputs. Please note: Only one pair of outputs should be used
at one time.
The TimeLord-Lite version is fitted with a 600Ω output.
EBU Setup
The different EBU settings are detailed in the table below.
Please see table on page 11-2 for EBU code formats.
