1. Introduction

 

 
Thank you for choosing the TCO. The Time Code Option provides synchronisation to SMPTE 
and video in professional studio quality. SteadyClock ensures that the word clock derived from 
the input signals is of low jitter and therefore highly compatible. The TCO supports all standard 
formats and conversions of these, turning it into a highly useful tool within the studio environ-
ment.
