Brainstorm SR-112 Timecode Distripalyzer

1 x 12 DISTRIBUTOR / RESHAPER

• Designed to send clean time code over long cables
• Eliminates level fluctuations
• Buffered outputs; balanced or unbalanced

TIME CODE ANALYZER

• Identifies time code format, reports errors (drop outs…)
• Monitors video phase
• Generates a comprehensive report via Ethernet

TIME CODE GENERATOR (option)

• Generates new time code with or without video reference
• Repairs faulty time code (jam sync)

TIME CODE ANALYZER

Eliminates frustrations and downtime by identifying quickly and accurately errors with a powerful time code analyzer:

• Time code format & Frame Rate:
The front panel displays separately the format (24, 25 or 30), the drop frame status and the frame rate of the incoming time code.
For example: 30 drop at a rate of 29.97. No more guessing!
In addition, the frame rate counter can show potential problems such as jitter or wow and flutter.

• Time code errors:
Time code errors such as repeated frames, drop outs etc. are detected and reported on the front panel along with the faulty addresses. A buzzer sounds whenever the analyzer detects an error.

• Video Phase:
In post production, it is essential that time code be synchronous with video (i.e. the video frame must be perfectly aligned with the corresponding time code word). The SR-112 accurately monitors the phase between time code and video and reports even slow drifts.

• Time code report:
A comprehensive report that includes format, video phase and time code errors can be sent to a computer via the rear panel Ethernet port.

DISTRIBUTOR/ RESHAPER

While analyzing, the SR-112 distributes and reshapes time code through a 1×12 distributor:

• Buffered outputs:
The 12 time code outputs are balanced and buffered, avoiding the problems caused by multing a single source.

• Output Levels:
Output levels are adjustable individually via the Output Level menus. Since the signal is reshaped, output levels remain constant, regardless of the input level.

• Reshaping:
The Brainstorm Time Code Distributors are more than audio DA’s: they reshape the signal before distributing it. By reshaping the signal, the SR-112 eliminates amplitude distortions and input level fluctuations.

TIME CODE GENERATOR – OPTIONAL SOFTWARE: TCG

An optional software (TCG) can be purchased that adds a time generator module to the SR-112. This TGC has 2 main functions: Repairing time code and generating new time code.

• Repairing Time Code:
In REPAIR mode, the SR-112 fixes drop outs by regenerating the incoming code (jam-sync). It can also correct video phase when it is missaligned.

• Generating new Time Code:
In GENERATE mode, the SR-112 generates new time code. Start time, format and frame rate can be set. The generator can also be genlocked to external video.
