Product Manual
The 5010 is a full function Time code Generator and full speed Reader. A Video Character Generator with high resolution characters and on-screen programming menu is standard. The 5010 has the features to provide you with the power and flexibility to meet your most difficult operational requirements.
The 5010-VITC is a Time Code Generator/Reader/Character Inserter for both Longitudinal and Vertical Interval Time code.
The 5010-24Fps and 5010-VITC-24Fps are special purpose time code generators designed to work with the 23.98Fps time code commonly in use with the high definition 1080p/24 video format.
Features
- Generates Time code in accordance with SMPTE ST 12-1 locked to NTSC or PAL video or free run on internal crystal oscillator
- High resolution Character Inserter, with three Character sizes: 8,16 and 32 lines, time and user bits separately positionable on raster
- Reads LTC from 1/30th to 70x play speed
- Well proven input circuitry design permits reliable recovery of even severely distorted code
- Momentary or continuous Jam-sync modes
- Time and user bits are presettable from the front panel
- RS-232 serial port permits interfacing to computers
- 25Fps ⇔ 29.97Fps drop frame time code translator mode
- Parallel control of commonly used functions
- User bit Transfer from Reader Time or User bits
- On-screen programming menu
- Date/Time Zone may be encoded into user bits according to SMPTE ST 309
- Generates and reads universal co-ordinated time (UTC) or local time in time/date mode
- Automatic daylight saving time adjustment in time/date mode
- 2 General purpose outputs can be assigned to several output modes
Additional Features of the 5010-VITC
- Vertical Interval Time code Generator and Reader
- Separate genlock and PGM video inputs
- Set VITC Generator Line numbers from the front panel
- Translates LTC to VITC or VITC to LTC
- Reads VITC over the full shuttle range of most VTR's
- Selectable reader line range
- Optional Bypass relay on VITC Generator
Additional Features of the 5010-24Fps
- Genlocks to 23.98 'slow PAL' or NTSC
- 23.98 Fps ⇔ 29.97 Fps time code translator code
- Momentary or continuous Jam-sync modes
- Locks to 6Hz reference in 24Fps mode
