GENERAL
The VLR-100 is a versatile SMPTE time code LED display, combining high speed SMPTE Longitudinal Time Code (LTC) and
SMPTE Vertical Interval Time Code (VITC) readers with both an LTC generator and VITC-to-LTC translator.
The LED display characters are 0.56" high and are suitable for viewing across a room. A brightness control allows adjustment of
display intensity for use in a darkened environment.
The VLR-100 can display time code or user bits and is optionally available as the VLR-100PC with RS-232 serial interface and
HORITA TC-TOOLKIT Tape Logging and Control software. The VLR-100 can be factory upgraded to the VLR-100PC.
The VLR-100 comes standard as a desktop unit and can be installed in a standard 19" rack using an optional rackmount ear kit, or
can be attached to a wall or other piece of equipment using an optional wall mounted swivel bracket kit.
