Audio LTC option +LTC allows bidirectional transfer and conversion between video timecode formats and audio/RS-485 LTC. Audio LTC can be received over a selected balanced analog audio, embedded or AES input channel. Audio LTC can similarly be sent as digital audio over a selected embedded or AES output channel. RS-485 LTC can be received or sent via an RS-485 port (when card slot is correspondingly fitted with a Rear Module that accommodates RS-485).
Cards with the +LTC option can monitor video streams, RS-485 and/or selected audio channels for supported timecode formats and then select and prioritize among VBI timecode formats and audio/RS-485 LTC. Any format received by the card can be outputted as audio or RS-485 LTC. The +LTC option is available for wide range of Cobalt cards.
The software can be ordered with card purchase, or activated later using a downloadable feature key via free DashBoard™ remote control/monitoring software (no need to remove or replace card.)
