OPERATION
Model 8010TM SDI Time Code Master Manual
The GEN DATE FORMAT menu item is used to set the encoding
format when date information is being placed into the user bits.
Selecting yymmdd configures the user bits for BCD date encoding in
TT YY MM DD format according to SMPTE 309M.
designed so that simple time code readers can display the BCD
encoded date information in numeric format.
TT is a time zone offset to be applied to the Hours of the time
YY is the year in BCD format.
•
When YY is less than 50 the year will be displayed as 20YY
(i.e.: when YY=01 the year will be displayed as 2001).
•
When YY is greater than 50 the year will be displayed as 19YY
(i.e.: when YY=95 the year will be displayed as 1995).
MM is the month of the year.
DD is the day of the month.
For example: the date August 15, 1994 (no time zone offset) will be
encoded in the user bits as 00 94 08 15.
Selecting mjd configures the user bits for modified Julian date encoding
in TT dddddd format according to SMPTE 309M. This mode should be
used when the complete date including century is required. Simple
readers will not be able to decode this format.
TT is a time zone offset to be applied to the Hours of the time
ddddd is a 24 bit binary number representing the modified Julian
date.
Selecting leitch configures the user bits for date encoding in Leitch
Master Clock format. This mode should be used when driving Leitch
compatible display devices. Simple readers will not be able to decode
this date format.
