TG-2

AS TG-1 but with RS422 In and Out:
Use with standards converter for making copies or will also slave PAL video @ 24fps..

The Timecode Gearbox is used whenever you have to mix code standards, normally because someone has supplied you with an Audio or Video and a different standard or Frame rate:-

Examples

•     The M & E track has been supplied with 29.97 fps SMPTE timecode and you are working with 25 fps EBU timecode.
•     You are dubbing the final mix to film at 24 fps and you are supplied with a dialogue tape recorded to 25fps Video.
•     The Timecode Gearbox may also be used to change standard/timecode value without gearbox action.
•     You are working with a system that does not recognise Drop frame code and you need to convert from Drop to Non Drop.
•     You have almost finished your Mix and a new video is supplied with a different timecode. The Synchronizer section of the TG-1 may be used to synchronize any non-linear VTR (V-Mod, V-1, Viper) or Dynamic scan VTR at a different frame rate.
•     You wish to prepare the music tracks for a 24fps film to a 25fps PAL video, you can use the TG-1 to slave the Video to 24fps so that there is no pitch shift on the final version.
