Product Overview
The TCG is a software module option for Brainstorm Electronics SR-112 that enables the user to generate and repair time code. Installation is very simple as it is software only and doesn't require any hardware modification.
Features:
- Generating Time Code: The TCG can be used as a standalone master generator, locked to it's high precision internal crystal or genlocked to an external video sync including HD and SD.
- Repairing Time Code: The TCG can also be used to repair time code byre generating or jam syncing incoming time code.
- - Drop Out Repairs: In Repair mode, time code is regenerated and fills in drop outs. Fly wheeling times available are: 5fr, 15fr or 8. The TCG can lock to either the incoming code or to an external video reference.
- - Jitter Reduction: The regenerator uses a proprietary form of phase locking to clock the output time code. This is continuously updated to follow the input variations, thus maintaining sync while substantially reducing jitter.
- - Auto Video Phase Correction: If the incoming code is synchronous but out of phase with the video reference, the TCG automatically aligns time code to the closest video frame edge.
- - Time Code Delay: The TCG can delay the source time code up to 60 milliseconds. This feature can be used when audio is ahead of the video.
Specifications:
