LTC can also be added to a pre-recorded source tape and be jamsync'd to existing LTC or VITC (Figure 4-3). This procedure
again requires a dubbing VCR.

4.5 Connecting Serial COMM
(VLR-100PC Only)
The HORITA-supplied serial interface cable connects the VLR-100PC COMM connector (3.5mm phone jack) to a DB-9 male
connector compatible with most PC RS-232 serial port interfaces. For a USB connection an RS-232-to-USB adapter cable can be
used. These are available online or usually at a computer store. They have a DB9 female connector at one end and a USB
connector at the other.
It should be noted that there are many suppliers of these devices and each device has its own internal software to translate and
time the RS-232-to-USB conversion process. Because of this and also because of all of the Windows operating systems available
and in use, not all of the adapters operate correctly with the VLR-PC and may need to be exchanged until one is found that
operates correctly.
