Introducing TCC70XS
1.1 Overview
TCC70XS
is a 19“ 1
RU stand
–
alone time code system, which combines generator, reader,
and inserter functionality.
There are two different hardware configurations, the current TCC70XS (v2), built from mid-
2015, and the previous TCC70XS, built up to mid-2015. They differ in some connectors and
in the standard configuration: The RS485/RS422/RS232 serial interface is optional with
TCC70XS (v2).
These are the
–
all integrated
–
components of the product:
•
8
–
digit LED display.
•
OLED display for status feedback.
•
Four programmable function keys.
•
Integrated power supply.
•
Ethernet functionality: set
–
up and status information via browser; SNMP, NTP server
and NTP client.
•
USB port, used for set
–
up, status monitor, and firmware updates.
•
Time code readers for LTC, D-VITC, ATC_LTC, and ATC_VITC.
•
Generator for the LTC, D-VITC, ATC_LTC, and ATC_VITC types of time code.
•
Input for serial digital video signals: SD, HD, 3G.
•
Video output, format of the video signals same as video input.
•
Four GPIOs, individually configurable as input or output.
•
An external real
–
time reference (GPS, DCF77) can be connected. In this case GPIO_1
will be the input for a PPS and GPIO_2 the input for time & date.
•
Serial interface RS485/RS422/RS232, depending on configuration.
The following methods of operating are provided for the time code generator:
•
REAL
–
TIME: Using a real
–
time reference (GPS, DCF77, NTP), the time information of
the time code corresponds to a local time zone. You can setup any local time zone
including a Daylight-Saving Time.
•
FREE: The time code generator counts the time continuously without any time jumps.
•
START: The time code starts with a preset value. A start
–
stop operation is possible.
•
JAM SYNC: The time code generator receives data from the time code reader. Time
code of type LTC, D-VITC, ATC_LTC, and ATC_VITC can both be read and generated.
Additionally, read time code can be transferred via serial interface RS232/RS422,
depending on configuration. This method enables the following time code conversions:
from (reader)
→
to (generator)
