INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
6.0 INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
The front panel I/O for the bc635VME and the bc350VXI (B-size) consists of an LED time and
status display, a BNC timecode input, a BNC timecode output, a 15 pin “D” plug, and a 15 pin
“D” socket.
The current TFP time
hr:min:sec
is displayed using seven segment LED digits. If the TFP is
flywheeling, the digit decimal points are also illuminated. The time display is incremented at
990 milliseconds into the current frame. (One customer measured the LED radix point with a
photo diode and reported that it was indeed early!)
Timecode is input using BNC connector J3 or J1-7. Input amplitudes from 0.5 to 5 volts peak to
peak are accommodated. Timecode is output on BNC connector J2 or J1-5. The output
amplitude is adjustable using ten turn potentiometer VR1 located just below J2 and accessible
with the TFP in place. The signals on socket J1 and plug J4 are summarized in Table 6-1 on the
following page.
