Modular Time Code Processor Card

Interact with this product in a Layout Tool:

The 7800TM2-3G occupies one card slot and the 7800TM2-XIO-3G and the 7800TM2-IRIG-3G occupy two card slots in the 3RU 7800 series frame, which will hold up to 15 modules.

The 7800TM2-3G series Modular Time Code Processor expands on the professional line of time code solutions by Evertz. The 7800TM series modules provide dual time code processing paths supporting 3G/HD/SD-SDI video signals. This unit is a combination Generator, Reader and Character Inserter for LTC, D-VITC (SDI only) or Ancillary Time Code (ATC). Applications such as reading LTC, D-VITC or ATC time codes and creating a visual burn-in or "transcoding" LTC to D-VITC or ATC time codes are natively supported.

The 7800TM2-XIO-3G version additionally provides 6 GPIOs per channel for control of various functions and for encoding/decoding GPI information in the timecode user bits. It also provides two serial ports that can be used to read timecode from devices supporting the Sony 9 Pin RS-422 compatible ports.

The 7800TM2-IRIG-3G version contains an IRIG-B Reader to burn IRIG time into the video as well as inserting the IRIG data into D-VITC and ancillary data packets. The IRIG data source for the burn-in windows is selectable between the IRIG-B reader and the ancillary data/D-VITC IRIG readers. Thje IRIG data can be transcoded to SMPTE time code so that video tapes and servers can be searched using commonly available SMPTE time code based equipment. Most of the regular features of the XIO version are also available on the IRIG version.
