This mode is used to convert timecode in standard converter applications. In translate mode incoming LTC of the input video standard is converted to timecode of the output video standard.

  • Page 50: Configuring Whether The Generator Will Output Local Time Or Utc Time In Time/Date Modes

    Generator will output UTC or UTC adjusted by the programmed Time Zone Offset (Local Time). The local time will also be adjusted by the daylight saving time adjustment if daylight saving time is in effect. See section 4.5.7 for a discussion of daylight saving time features of the 5010. TIME ZONE ADJ LOCAL TIME Configures the generator to output its time as UTC.

    6.2. DIP SWITCH FUNCTIONS The main circuit board of the model 5010 contains an 8 position DIP switch which is used to invoke various diagnostic and calibration functions. On The 5200 main circuit card the DIP switch is closed when it is pressed down on the right side. On the 7700STM main circuit card the switch is closed when it is pressed down closest to the circuit card.

    Disconnect the power from the 5010. Disconnect the antenna cable from the Serial I/O connector and remove the top cover or the unit. On the 5200 main circuit card, jumpers JP12 and JP5 are used to configure the serial port. Set the jumpers as shown in Figure 6-5 to configure the 5010 for firmware upgrading.
