    Model 5010-GPS II GPS Time Code Master Manual INTRODUCTION The model 5010-GPS II Time Code Master is a full function time code reader/generator system that interfaces to a GPS receiver, allowing the generator time to be precisely synchronized to a world wide time standard known as the Global Positioning system.
  • Page 12 Model 5010-GPS II GPS Time Code Master Manual The 5010-GPS II is capable of displaying time/date information in either the Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) or the local time that has been adjusted with the appropriate time zone offset from UTC. In local time mode, the generator encodes the time and date adjusted for the local time zone offset from UTC.

  • Page 13: The Global Positioning System - Overview

    Model 5010-GPS II GPS Time Code Master Manual The VITC reader is designed for use with non time base corrected video signals. Although the use of time base correctors will enhance the recovery range of the VITC reader, the amount of improvement is dependent on the type of TBC and transport being used.

  • Page 14: How To Use This Manual

    Model 5010-GPS II GPS Time Code Master Manual As a satellite system, the GPS is immune from the limitations of land based systems previously available.
