Description - TCR500 - Time Code Reader PCI Card

The TCR500-PCI is a time code reader plug-in cards for standard 5V, 32 bit PCI bus, on IBM-PC's and compatible computer systems. The card can be used to synchronize time in a PC or Server to a master time code. In addition, it can be used as a SMPTE or IRIG-B(1) linear time code reader, under software control. The reader is compatible with 24/25/30 fps NDF (Non Drop Frame) SMPTE linear time code. The reader is also compatible with the IRIG-B(1) 1 kHz amplitude modulated time code format.

This instruction book covers installation and operation of the card using linear SMPTE and also IRIGB(1) TC (Time Code). In some cases references are made to 24, 25 or 30 frames. It should be understood that the reference to 24, 25 or 30 frames per second only applies to the SMPTE TC.
