OVERVIEW

The HD9010TM HDTV Time Code Master is a full function time code reader/generator system for high
definition serial digital video. The HD9010TM is a combination dual generator/ dual reader for SMPTE
12M Linear Time Code (LTC) and RP188 Ancillary Time Code (ATC), and contains a high resolution
character inserter which can burn the generator or reader numbers directly into the high definition serial
digital program output.
The HD9010TM requires a SMPTE 292M (1.5 Gb/s) high definition serial digital video for normal operation.
The HD9010TM time code generators can be referenced to the input video or to an analog colour black
reference to provide stable output timing during momentary disruptions of the input video.
generating 24Fps time code it will also lock the generator count sequence to a 6 Hz pulse
The HD9010TM generators can be slaved to incoming LTC or ATC or can be set to free run. The
generators may also be momentarily synchronized to one of the readers, and then it continues to increment
normally regardless of the reader code. The second LTC output normally follows the primary output,
however the two generators can be operated at different frame rates to supply both 24Fps and 30Fps time
code when shooting in a 1080p/24 environment.
The high-resolution character inserter provides independently positional windows to show time and user
bits for the generator and readers simultaneously. The choice of white or black characters with or without
contrasting background mask is available.
