Time code enables different pieces of studio gear to work together but it has
become a source of problems and frustrations for many engineers.
The SA-1 can eliminate these frustrations by identifying quickly and accurately
time code errors and providing a comprehensive report.

FEATURES

Time Code Format & Frame Rate:
The front panel displays separately the format (24, 25 or 30), the drop frame status and
the frame rate of the incoming time code. For example: 30 drop at a rate of 29.97.
No more guessing!
In addition, the counter can show potential problems such as jitter or wow and flutter.

Time Code Errors:
Time code errors such as repeated frames, drop outs etc. are detected and reported on
the front panel along with the faulty addresses.
A buzzer is included which sounds whenever the analyzer detects an error.

Video Phase:
In audio post production, it is essential that time code be synchronous with video (i.e. the video frame must be perfectly aligned with the corresponding time code word).
The SA-1 accurately monitors the phase between time code and video and reports
even slow drifts.

Printed Time Code Report:
A comprehensive report can be sent to an external printer or computer via the rear panel
serial port. This report includes format, video phase and time code errors.
