Installation
•
Connect LTC IN and/or LTC OUT according to your application.
•
Connect VIDEO IN and/or VIDEO OUT according to your application. The signal at
VIDEO IN will be used for synchronization purposes. It is strongly recommended to
connect an SD/HD/3G video signal as soon as TCC70XS will be used in a video
application.
•
If you want to access TCC70XS via
browser
or if you want to use any other Ethernet
function (SNMP, NTP server, NTP client), establish a 10/100Base
–
T Ethernet connection
to your local network as shown above. Use a straight CAT5 cable between TCC70XS
and a switch or hub. Use a crossover cable if you connect to the Ethernet card of your
computer directly.
•
Use a common “Type A to Type B” cable if you want to access TC70XS via
USB
port. If
you first plug to the USB port a driver has to be installed. You will find the driver at the
included CD. Alternatively, you can download the driver from:
•
The REAL
–
TIME method of operating requires any real
–
time reference. One approach
is to connect a GPS receiver, for example. This type of external real
–
time reference has
to deliver the following signals:
o
PPS: pulse per second, TTL, connect to pin 1 of REF/GPI.
o
TXD: serial data string, time & date, RS232, transmission once per second, connect
to pin 2 of REF/GPI.
In this case, GPIO_1 and GPIO_2 are fixed and cannot be used for other applications.
Another approach is to use the
NTP client
function of TCC70XS. The real
–
time
reference will be an NTP server which you select via an IP address. GPIO_1 and
GPIO_2 now are free to use.
