• Timecode Source Status Displays

Displays the current status and contents of the four supported timecode
formats shown to the left.

• If a format is receiving timecode data, the current content (timecode

running count and line number) is displayed.

• If a format is not receiving timecode data, Unlocked is displayed.

• Incoming ATC Packet Removal Control

Enables or disables removal of existing input video ATC timecode packets
from the output. This allows removal of undesired existing timecodes from
the output, resulting in

a ―clean slate‖ where only desired timecodes are

then re-inserted into the output. (For example, if both SDI VITC Waveform
and SDI ATC_VITC are present on the input video, and only
SDI ATC_VITC is desired, using the Removal control will remove both
timecodes from the output. The ATC_VITC timecode by itself can then be

Note: When the Scaler is enabled, ATC packets are automatically

removed. The Timecode function must be used to re-insert the
timecode data into the output video.

• Source Priority

As described here, selects the priority assigned to each of the four
supported formats in the event the preferred source is unavailable.

Each of the four Source Priority selection lists allows assignment of
source priority from the following choices:









Source Priority 1 thru Source Priority 4 select the preferred format to be
used in descending order (i.e., Source Priority 2 selects the second-most
preferred format, and so on. See example below.)

(2nd priority)

In this example, SDI VITC 1st priority selection selects SDI VITC (received on SDI
input) over analog VITC (received on analog input) regardless of video input
material source to be processed by the card.

The selected timecode source is embedded on the SDI video output (in this
example, 720p) using the selected line number. In this example, if the SDI VITC
on the SDI input becomes unavailable, the card then uses the 525i analog VITC
data received on the card analog input.

Note: If analog VITC timecode source contains 7.5 IRE of setup, make certain

–> NTSC Contains is set to 7.5 IRE of Setup. If

this is not done, analog VITC waveform may not be received and
processed by the card.
