- Due to the size of the small module, the device provides the HDSPe cards with a Word Clock input and offers a synchronization to LTC and video
- Thanks to SteadyClock, the TCO extracts absolute positions from LTC and a very clean low-jitter word clock from LTC and video
- Set up your device efficiently by conveniently accessing all settings from an additional page in the settings dialog of the HDSP mother card
- Provides the SMPTE position as APP (ASIO Positioning Protocol) and as MTC Sync explicitly, while under Mac OS X, the TCO provides the SMPTE position as MTC Sync only
- Combines a switchable word clock/video input (BNC) as well as an LTC input (BNC) with the ability to terminate (relay-controlled) with a 75 Ohm terminator comfortably
The RME Time Clock Module (TCO) is a synchronization module with an optional extension for selected RME cards. Placed in a free slot of the computer chassis, the TCO will be connected with the main card via a flat ribbon cable for LTC and video. One single TCO can be used with different HDSP/HDPe cards at the same time (multicard), if connected to a supported card. LTC can be derived and generated in all common formats, i.e. 24, 25, 30, and 29.97 frames; drop-frame or non-dropframe. Commonly used Pull-Up- and Pull-Down formats ( /- 0.1% and /- 4%) can be utilized, and PAL and NTSC video formats will be automatically detected and processed. The received Time Code can be sent to the audio or video application as ASIO Positioning Protocol (APP) or MTC. An application can send APP to the TCO, which will generate LTC on hardware level with lowest jitter!
