TC-100 Time Code Generator/Reader
|
SB-100 Time Code/Controller SB-100 Time Code Generator/ReaderThe BCD SB-100 is a special purpose RS-232 controller that generates and reads both LTC and VITC SMPTE Time Code. Same features as the TC-100 including Time Code Overlay. Additionally, it controls certain RS-232 and RS-422 video machines. EOL Notice: Discontinued This is a special order product. Please inquire before ordering. |
This is a special order DISCONTINUED product as of 10/1/2013. Critical components are no longer available. We liked the SB-100 because of it's versatility in controlling different types of machines as well as generating and reading SMPTE Time Code from both Composite and S-Video. We regret the loss of the SB-100.
============== Obsolete Information Below ========================
The BCD SB-100 is a special purpose RS-232 controller that generates and reads both LTC and VITC SMPTE Time Code. Additionally, it controls RS-232 and RS-422 disc and tape devices with frame-accurate precision.
MSRP: $ 895.00 (original price)
EOL Notice: This is a special order product. Please inquire before ordering. (Due to parts obsolescence, only enough parts available fora few as of 3/25/2013.

Window Dub Inserter, Generator/Inserter, RS-232 communication with your computer, VITC Generator, LTC-VITC/VITC-LTC Translator With "On-Screen" Time-Code Display ...all in one!
The TC-100 reads and generates SMPTE Time Code, both VITC Time Code and LTC Time Code. It has an RS-232 interface and Video Superimpose Overlay.
Serial Communications
Single Character Commands for only TC-100a: Simple hookup and single-character ASCII commands make TC-100 easy to integrate into any program. "L" requests LTC frame number. "V" requests VITC frame number. "O" turns on overlay, and "o" turns it off. 'A' causes the TC-100 to output time code numbers continuously. Captioning programs can take advantage of communication rates up to 38,400 bps for fast time code polling..
4-Character Commands for TC-100a and TC-100b: The 4-character command set permits extended 4-character commands for selecting VITC read/write lines, as display size, position and background. A special "VINI" command tells you which lines already have VITC time code.
BCD's TC-100 can record data from an RS-232 source. For monitoring applications that require data to be synchronous with the video, the TC-100 is perfect for recording vehicle speed, heart rate, temperature, and other data.
The TC-100 stores your data in the vertical interval of the video using VITC User Bits or on an audio channel in the LTC Code. Eight user groups are provided, giving you eight hex digits (0-F) for your data. Upon retrieval, you can configure these 'nibbles' as 4 bytes or as one really big number! Data integrity is assurred by writing it four times in each video frame - 2 lines per field. Typical update frequency is 2 to 3 times per second. For more frequent data updates, see our SB-100.
Suggested List Price: $ 595.00
Please specify 9-pin or 25-pin connector for your computer's serial port.
Please specify NTSC or PAL for default operation.
(Single-character commands are deleted, but they are still available by requesting the 'Original' TC-100a. If you have a prior version and you need absolute software compatibility, please order 'TC-100a'. Same Price.)
