The generator code output should be connected to the time code input of your video recorder. Pin 1 of the
XLR is ground, and pins 2 and 3 provide a balanced output. When using a machine with an unbalanced
input the signal should be connected to Pin 3 of the generator output XLR. Pin 2 should be left open.
2.5.2. Connecting the Primary LTC Reader
Connect the LTC output from your video recorder to the HD9010-SIE's LTC IN XLR connector. When
using an unbalanced input to the reader, the signal should be applied to pin 3 of the reader input
connector. Normally, the unused input, (pin 2) should be connected to ground (pin 1). This input is used
to jam sync the HD9010-SIE's Video LTC generator to the code previously recorded on tape. This mode
is used when the Record VTR is generating its own time code and the HD9010-SIE needs to read it to
insert the VTR's timecode into the RP188 Ancillary time code packets.

CONNECTING THE AUXILLIARY TIME CODE
The frame rate of the auxiliary time codes may be different than the system video frame rate. Specifically,
in applications where the video rate is 23.98 frames per second the auxiliary time code frame rate will
usually be 29.97 frames per second.
2.6.1. Connecting the Auxiliary LTC Generator
The auxiliary LTC output Generator is available on the AUX LTC OUT XLR connector at the rear panel.
The output level of the generator is factory set to 1 volt peak to peak, but may be adjusted using the level
adjustment (labelled RTP2) located on the 9000TCIO circuit card.
Pin 1 of the XLR is ground, and pins 2 and 3 provide a balanced output. When using a machine with an
unbalanced input the signal should be connected to Pin 3 of the generator output XLR. Pin 2 should be
left open.
2.6.2. Connecting the Auxiliary LTC Reader
Connect the auxiliary LTC to the AUX LTC IN XLR connector. When using an unbalanced input to the
reader, the signal should be applied to pin 3 of the reader input connector. Normally, the unused input,
(pin 2) should be connected to ground (pin 1). This input is used to read timecode from the audio player
when it is being controlled externally, so that the audio time code can be properly logged.

CONNECTING TO A VTR RS-422 PORT
2.7.1. Passively listening to a VTR under Edit Control
When the HD9010-SIE is in the VTR SID or VTR LVS mode, the AUXCOM serial port is used to
eavesdrop on the RS-422 serial control between a VTR and its controller. The AUXCOM MODE menu
item on the Utility menu must be set to Aux mode passive. (See section 3.8.5). The serial port is used to
obtain timecode and status information from the VTR. At this time the HD9010-SIE is customized to
eavesdrop on the communications between a Lance HSE-100 Edit Controller and a Sony VTR. The use
of other edit controllers may not give expected results on the VTR status of the HD9010-SIE. See chapter
4 for a complete description of the serial port operation. Figure 2-2 and Table 2-5 show how to make an
appropriate eavesdropping cable.
