Multiple Machines
One Controller |
Several of our clients (Brandspeak, Jim Stafford Theatre, London Metropolitan Police) needed to control many (up to 12) machines with a single button push. The VC-16b can control many machines of the same model... sll machines do the same thing.

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.
Data CaptureBCD'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.
