SR-26
Time cord Reshaper/Distributor
www.promediaaudio.com
The SR-26 is a simple and elegant solution for time code distribution.
Housed in a single U 19h
chassis, it provides 6 outputs and 2 inputs. It can be used as 2 separate
units (a 1x4 and a 1x2) or
as a single 1x6 distributor. Each output level is adjustable individually
via front panel knobs.
In addition, the SR-26 reshapes time code while distributing it, eliminating
amplitude distortions and
level fluctuations.
FEATURES
@Buffered Outputs:
Multing a single time code source to multiple destination can cause many
problems. The SR-26 eliminates those by
distributing time code through balanced and buffered outputs.
Reshaping:
The Brainstorm Time Code Distributors are more than audio DAfs: they reshape
the signal before distributing it. Audio DAfs
on the other hand, transfer all distortions and level fluctuations present
at the source.
Low Input Threshold:
The SR-26 recognizes time code at levels much lower than the threshold
of many readers (better than -30db) while still
safely above the noise floor. This feature makes it often possible to recover
unreadable code by reshaping it,
almost as if it was regenerating over drop outs.
Output Level Adjust:
Output levels are adjustable individually via front panel pots from full
off to +12db.
These adjusted levels remain constant regardless of input level fluctuations.
Switchable Rise Times:
The output rise time (slew limiting) is switchable between 25s (SMPTE),
50s (EBU) and 1s (square wave, preferred by
most readers).
Cleaning Up Unreadable Time Code:
By eliminating amplitude distortions and level fluctuations the SR-26 can
often recover unreadable code.
Forward, Reverse & High-Speed:
The SR-26 operates in rewind and fast forward modes so that high speed
readers can accurately track the tape transports.
Sound Reinforcement:
The SR-26 can drive time code over long cables making it ideal for synchronization
during live shows and remote recording.
