2.6.6 Interfacing Time Code
Longitudinal Time Code (LTC)
Longitudinal (Audio) Time code is interfaced on the DB-25 connector labeled TIME
CODE mounted on the rear of the Auxiliary panel, next to the Digital Master Module
.
TIME CODE OUT is the output of the console’s internal time code generator. TIME
CODE IN is theTime Code input to DISKMIX automation.
■
Vertical Interval Time Code (VITC)
Vertical Interval (Video) Time Code is interfaced to a coax connector labeled VITC on the
rear of the Auxiliary panel, next to the Digital Master Module.
The time code rate and type being input (LTC or VITC) must be specified in the
TCIN
option of the Automation configuration screen of the LCD Menu System (Press
Shift
+
Automation
). See
Section 6
,
Alignment and Maintenance
for more information
on configuring Time Code
NOTE:
A VITC time code bus should be terminated with a 75 Ohm termination
connector after the last input in the chain. As shipped, the STATUS VITC time code input
is not 75 Ohm terminated. If internal termination is required, see Section 6, Alignment
and Maintenance, for information on installing the 75 Ohm termination jumper on the
consoles’s time code board.
■
House Sync Capability
The Time Code Generator menu page has two frame rate options for syncing
longitudinal time code to “House Sync”. The H29D and H30D options allow the internal
timecode generator to synchronize outgoing Longitudinal Time Code (LTC) frames with
an external video sync signal by connecting a Black Burst generator or other commonly
used “House Sync” source to the console’s VITC jack. See Section 4.17 for more
information on operating the Time Code generator.
NOTE:
House Sync capability requires a hardware modification to the Time Code
Processor card located inside the Status console. This modification must be performed
by a competent technician. Contact your Otari representative for modification
documentation if you require the use of this feature.
