This eight digit display unit is designed to auto-detect and display SMPTE or EBU time code. It is capable of reading in either direction (forward or reverse) at speeds ranging from 1/15 to 3x play-speed. Setup features allow the unit to display time in either 12 or 24 hour format and to display User Bits data. An Error Detection and Correction feature maintains flicker-free operation in the event of poor quality time code. An Error Detection Indicator is also included and the Error feature may be turned off via an internal DIP switch. Pressing the front mounted Hold push-button allows the display to be frozen. A rear-mounted toggle switch selects whether Time or User Bits are displayed. If the ESE Time Code Output option is ordered -- a rear-mounted DB-9 connector will provide access to the TC90 (TM) output of Hours and Minutes and Seconds. Up to 100 slave units may be driven up to 4000 ft. away. If the RS-232 Output option is ordered -- the Hours and Minutes and Seconds and Frames and User Bits and Flag bits are output once-per-frame using ESE Format C on the rear-mounted DB-9 connector.
