ES 488U - Overview

SMPTE Timecode System - Black

The ES-488U is a microprocessor-based unit which can Generate, Read and Video Insert SMPTE time code. All controls are front panel mounted while the inputs and outputs are accessible via rear mounted connectors. If option "R" is ordered, the unit may be remotely operated via RS232 interface to a PC running the Control Panel software. The ES-488U is a combination SMPTE/EBU Time Code Generator, Reader and Inserter. The unit can read and generate both time and user bits, and can operate in either drop frame or non-drop frame modes. Front panel controls select Time or User Bits, Drop Frame or
Non-Drop Frame, Run or Hold and Reader or Generator modes. The micro-processor circuitry automatically detects and corrects for errors in time code (when reading). The ES-488U has "jam-sync" capability, a color sync input and a reconstituted time code output (when in reader mode). Video Inserter controls allow the Brightness to be adjusted and the Size and Position to be adjusted horizontally and vertically.

Product Options Include:

Clear: Clear Anodized Front Panel
J: 220 VAC/50 Hz Operation: The unit is configured to operate from 220 VAC line voltage. 117 VAC 50/60 Hz is standard. EBU and/or PAL may also be specified, if needed.

UL: "UL" Approved Power Supply: The unit is supplied with a UL/CSA approved wall mount power supply.
