The TCP-50 is a universal SMPTE/EBU longitudinal time code processor that provides a variety of needed time code functions to keep up with the changes and requirements of dealing with multi format longitudinal time code.
Translates between 23.976/24/25/29.97 and 30-FPS frame rates
SMPTE time code in at 29.97-FPS, EBU time code out at 25-FPS
Substitute/replace input time code user bit data with manually entered user bit data on a "nibble-by-nibble" basis
Introduce any amount of positive or negative time offset, from frames to hours, between the input time code and output time code
Adjust phase relationship of the output time code with respect to the input time code or video
"Repair" bad time code due to noise, dropouts, damaged/missing bits
Read and display time code and user bits
Time code analyzer measures and keeps track of common time code errors
Multiple "on-screen" menus provide quick and easy user setup of TCP-50 operation
Add up to nine lines of twenty characters each of source ID information to the on-screen time code/user bit display
