AEC Adrienne PCI-TC Time Code PCI Board Card

WHAT IS TIME CODE?

         Time Code assigns to each video frame (picture) a unique number, having the format Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Frames. This number may then be used for editing and/or control purposes. Time code standards have been around for many years, and are sponsored by both SMPTE (for NTSC) and the EBU (for PAL and SECAM). Time code is also used in the 24fps FILM environment, and in some audio only applications. There are actually two different kinds of time code commonly used in the television business. Vertical Interval Time Code (VITC) is encoded in the vertical interval (non visible portion) of a video signal. Longitudinal Time Code (LTC) is a specialized audio signal which is usually recorded on an audio track of a video tape, next to its associated video signal. Use of VITC frees up one audio track for other purposes, such as stereo audio. It also allows time code to be read at very low (including still) tape speeds, where fine positioning is important. However VITC cannot usually be read at tape speeds much above play speed. LTC is commonly used because it is usually lower cost than VITC, can be added to a video tape after the initial video recording, and it can be read during high shuttle speeds (fast forward and rewind). However, due to record/playback limitations of tape machines, LTC cannot be read reliably at very low tape speeds. In many cases LTC and VITC will be used at the same time, because of the advantages each has to offer.
