6.1. OVERVIEW
The Model 5010 LTC/VITC Timecode Generator/Reader combines the latest LSI technology with
sophisticated microcontroller firmware to provide a powerful, flexible time code reader system. The
model 5010 Time Code Master is available in three versions. The basic 5010 is a dual standard
(NTSC/PAL) combination generator, high speed reader for Linear Time Code (LTC), and contains a
high resolution character inserter which can be delegated to either the generator or reader. The model
5010-VITC adds Vertical Interval Time Code (VITC) reading and generating capabilities to the basic
5010. The 5010-24 is a special purpose time code generator designed to work 24 FPS time code
commonly in use with the high definition 1080P/24 video format. The model 5010-VITC-24 adds
Vertical Interval Time Code (VITC) reading and generating capabilities to the 5010-24. A 16 digit
alphanumeric display can be quickly delegated to show the required data. Thus, the generator will
produce uninterrupted time code while the reader may be used to recover time code from another tape
without interfering with the generator function.
The model 5010-VITC’s reader can be configured in one of three modes:
•
Full speed (1/30 to 70 times play) LTC reader
•
0 to 15X speed VITC reader
•
Auto LTC/VITC reader automatically switches between LTC and VITC inputs reading
whichever is valid
The character inserter provides an on screen programming menu system, which is used to configure
the various operating modes. The use of drop down menus and dedicated programming keys allows
the model 5010 to be conveniently configured for particular customer requirements.
There are two different versions of the 5010 hardware. Earlier versions have the rear panel layout
shown in Figure 2-1 and have a 5200 main circuit card inside and an optional 5235 sub-module for the
5010-VITC model. Later versions have the rear panel layout shown in Figure 2-2 and have a
7700STM circuit card inside. The labels on the connectors are mostly the same, but many of the
connectors have been relocated to better suit the layout of the new circuit board. The operation of the
two versions is similar except where specifically noted in chapter 4. Section 6.2 describes the DIP
switch functions, section 6.3 described the user calibrations and section 6.4 describes the method of
updating to a new firmware version.
6.2.
DIP SWITCH FUNCTIONS
The main circuit board of the model 5010 contains an 8 position DIP switch which is used to invoke
various diagnostic and calibration functions. On The 5200 main circuit card the DIP switch is closed
when it is pressed down on the right side. On the 7700STM main circuit card the switch is closed
when it is pressed down closest to the circuit card. The functions of each switch are described below.
