The V-50/TRG and V-50/TG LTC Timecode Generator / Reader / Inserters are part of our established range of versatile low-cost timecode products, housed in CE approved desktop metal cases, any 3 of which may be rackmounted using the V-RM50 rack adapter (available separately). Their capabilities are similar where the V-50/TRG is a variable speed LTC longitudinal timecode reader whilst the V-50/TG reads only at play speed.
Each unit incorporates a Timecode Reader, Generator and Character Inserter which provides great flexibility. The Video input references the LTC generator and timecode characters are inserted over this signal. The size and position of the characters may be changed using the front panel controls. Characters are white with either solid or see-through mask with indication of Drop-Frame / Non-Drop operation and Field1 / Field2.
Different LTC longitudinal timecode generator modes with an LED indicator to show status - stopped / running with or without a video reference. A preset timecode can be entered using front panel switches to step through HH:MM:SS:FF or 30/60/90/120 second backtime preset for striping tapes for editing. Jam-sync operation uses the Reader / Generator switch to transfer a snapshot from the reader to the timecode generator.
Timecode User-Bits can be set from the front panel to provide information such as Reel Number or Date. If user-bits are present in the timecode reader, these are automatically passed to the generator for jam-sync operation. Timecode data or User-Bits may be displayed by the video inserter with selection available from the front panel. Please note that if both Timecode data and User-bits need to be displayed on the video signal at the same time, two timecode reader / inserters would be required.
The V-50/WG Window Generator provides a low-cost solution for LTC timecode reader / character inserter applications where timecode generation is not required, offering all the reader / inserter capabilities of the units described above.
