2.3.3.8.  No Time Reference 

When the time reference source is set to 

None

, the 5601MSC will ignore all time reference sources and 

the 

system clock

 will freerun. The time and date must be set manually using the 

Set System Time

 and 

Set System Date

 menu items located in the 

GENERAL

 root menu. It is recommended to set the system 

clock time to UTC rather than to local time. Local time can then be specified using a time zone offset 
from UTC on the timecode outputs.  The IRIG-B124 and IRIG-B127 formats also include the current 
year as a two-digit number (e.g. 2011 = 11). 

The “eyeball and wristwatch” method of setting the 

system clock

 cannot be considered accurate time. 

The NTP server will report an unlocked condition (LI_Alarm) unless spoofing is enabled. See section 
2.4 for more information. 

2.3.4.  LTC and VITC Timecode 

The primary purpose of LTC and VITC timecode is to count frames. Each LTC count relates to one 
frame of video. The Linear Time Code output waveforms are aligned to video so that the end of the 
sync word lines up with the start of the field1 vertical sync. This occurs on line 4 for the NTSC standard, 
and line 1 for the PAL standard. Vertical Interval Time Code can be inserted onto any black burst sync 
output and is inserted onto a vertical blanking line once per field, twice per frame. See Figure 2-15 for 
LTC and VITC timing relationships. Note that VITC is inserted once per field allowing VITC timecode to 
count fields. LTC timecode has one count per frame and does not count fields. 

 

Figure 2-15: Detail of 29.97Hz LTC Waveform Alignment to NTSC Video 

The LTC/VITC timecode rates supported by the 5601MSC are summarized in Table  2-7. All of these 
rates maintain alignment to their respective video standards. When VITC is inserted onto a PAL black 
burst sync output, it runs at 25Hz. When VITC is inserted onto an NTSC black burst sync output it runs 
at 29.97Hz. In addition to video alignment, the LTC and VITC timecode for the 25Hz and 29.97Hz rates 
can be adjusted to maintain color frame alignment as per SMPTE ST 12-1. Refer to section 2.3.4.2 for 
more information on how color frame alignment is performed.
