VITC Connection
Use the following steps to connect a VITC signal to the TCR.
1. Connect a stable analog VITC signal from the desired source to the VITC IN connector.
Most contemporary VTRs and DTRs are capable of recording and outputting a VITC signal.
2. If the TCR is in the middle of your VITC loop, you can “T” the signal to the next device in the
chain — using a BNC T connector.
If the TCR is the last device in your VITC loop, terminate the chain using the VITC
termination DIP switch on the rear panel.
Video Connection
Use the following steps to connect a video reference to the TCR.
1. Connect a stable analog reference signal (such as Video Black Burst) from the appropriate
reference source to the VIDEO REF IN connector.
Ensure that the selected reference source feeds the same reference signal to all devices in
your TCR system.
2. If the TCR is in the middle of your reference loop, you can “T” the signal to the next device
in the chain — using a BNC T connector.
If the TCR is the last device in the chain, terminate the input using the VIDEO termination
DIP switch on the rear panel.
LTC Connection
Use the following steps to connect an LTC signal to the TCR.
1. Connect an LTC signal from the appropriate source to the LTC IN connector. Typical LTC
sources are a “house” master time code generator, or the LTC output from a VTR or DTR.
2. As required, connect the LTC OUT port to the desired LTC input connector on a target device
(such as a mixing console, workstation, VTR, DTR or audio tape recorder).
Word Clock Connection
Use the following steps to connect a Word Clock signal to the TCR.
1. Connect a stable Word Clock signal from the appropriate reference source to the WORD
CLOCK IN connector.
2. If the TCR is in the middle of your reference loop, you can “T” the signal to the next device
in the chain — using a BNC T connector.
If the TCR is the last device in the chain, terminate the input using the WCLK termination
DIP switch on the rear panel.
3. If you wish to reference another device (such as an audio workstation) to the TCR, connect
the WORD CLOCK OUT port to the Word Clock input connector on the target device.
