4.9.2. General Purpose Outputs
The 5010 has two general purpose outputs that can be assigned to several different functions. These
outputs will be active low when the specified condition occurs. 5010 units with serial numbers before
06990000 may have driver integrated circuits that invert the sense of the general purpose outputs. If
your unit has active high outputs and you desire active low outputs, contact the factory. The duration of
the output is user programmable. See sections 4.8.5 to 4.8.7 for more information on setting up the
general purpose outputs.
4.10. OPERATIONS CHANGES FOR THE MODEL 5010-24 AND 5010-VITC-24
The 5010-24 and 5010-VITC-24 models are special purpose time code generators designed to work 24
FPS time code commonly in use with the high definition 1080P/24 video format. They have all of the
features of the standard 5010 LTC or 5010-VITC VITC Time Code Master except as noted below.
•
Support for 23.98 and 29.97 FPS time code. PAL Time code is not available in the 5010-24 model.
•
Genlocks to 23.98 FPS 625 line sync when operating in the 23.98 mode.
•
6 Hz pulse input to synchronize the Generator time code to 6 Hz coincidence point.
•

30 FPS time code translator mode.
•
5010-VITC-24 reads and generates when genlocked to NTSC.
4.10.1. Generating 23.98 FPS Time Code
To configure the 5010-24 for operation in the 24 FPS mode set the VIDEO STANDARD item on the
CONFIG menu to 24FPS. The 5010-24 will also support normal NTSC genlocking and time code rates
when the VIDEO STANDARD menu item is set to NTSC.
When the 5010-24 is operating in the 24FPS mode, it will genlock to a 23.98 FPS 625 line video or
sync reference. The LED labeled 23.98 on the front panel is used to indicate that the 5010-24 is
properly genlocked to the 23.98 FPS sync source. The timecode generated will be non-drop frame.
The reader will read 24 fps time code and can be used to jam sync the generator.
4.10.2. Selecting the Generator 6 Hz Lock Mode
The
6 HZ LOCK
item on the GENERATOR menu is used to select whether the 5010-24 will apply 6 Hz
synchronization to the code it generates.
