LTC/VITC READER & TRANSLATOR BOXES
The RS232/RS422 serial interface on these boxes
allow PC's or any other device having a serial port to read time
code(s). Boxes include automatic NTSC/SMPTE and PAL/EBU mode
switching, plus a serial connector kit if needed. Note that when
using RS232 connections, a nonstandard RS232 cable is required.
(order below).
As of mid 2009, the AEC-BOX-10, -20, -5
and -25 models are available in limited supply and the AEC-BOX-1 and
AEC-BOX-2 are out of production. See our newer model, AEC-uBOX-2 to
replace the functionality of the AEC-BOX-1 and AEC-BOX-2 models as
well as having CE and RoHS compliance. Contact the factory for
specific details. |

SERIAL ADAPTER BOXES FOR PARALLEL REMOTE VTR'S
Make JVC, Panasonic, and Sony parallel remote VTRs look like
"Sony protocol" RS422 serial remote VTRs. One adapter box is
required for each VTR to be controlled. JVC interface boxes cannot
be used with Sony VTR's, etc., because the parallel remote
interfaces are completely different. Each box includes full machine
control features, standard editing functions, automatic NTSC/PAL
mode switching, a 2 meter parallel remote cable for your VTR, and
selected time code capabilities. |

Simple machine control adapter boxes support the
STOP, PLAY, FAST FORWARD, REWIND, RECORD, PAUSE, and EJECT
functions, including both control and tally-back. Editing and other
advanced functions are not supported. Digital inputs may be driven
by TTL logic, open-collector transistors, or switch and relay
closures to ground. Active-low open-collector digital outputs can
drive logic gates, LED's, and optoisolators. |
