HOW TO OPERATE THE SDI TIME CODE MASTER
The model 8010TM SDI Time Code Master combines the latest LSI technology with sophisticated
microcontroller firmware to provide a powerful, flexible Serial Digital Video Time Code Master. The
8010TM is a combination generator/reader for Linear Time Code (LTC) and Digital Vertical Interval
Time Code (D-VITC), and contains a high resolution character inserter which can burn the generator or
reader numbers directly into the digital program output as well as an optional analog monitoring output.
A 16 digit alphanumeric display can be quickly delegated to show the required data.
