The UTG-50 is a multi-frame-rate SMPTE time code generator with an internal GPS receiver. The UTG-50 is truly universal and can generate at frame rates of 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97 drop/non-drop frame, or 30 frames-per-second (FPS). The UTG-50 is designed to provide SMPTE time code that represents accurate “real time” time and date. The SMPTE time code time value can be preset and locked to GPS data via an internal GPS receiver, to an internal real-time clock/calendar chip, or to an external time code input.
- Various time and date display formats are provided if its desired to overlay time and date onto the input video display
- Up to nine lines of twenty characters each of source ID can be added to the time/date display
- Video genlock feature allows accurate phasing and recording of time code whenever recording time code and video
- RTC chip can be set to GPS time and date to use as an automatic backup should GPS reception be lost
- Alarm signal is output if the UTG-50 fails to operate correctly
- User selectable manual and automatic setup modes simplify setting up the UTG-50 for use in typical situations and for special applications of SMPTE time code
- Provides both balanced and unbalanced time code outputs
