-
- For the Apple II+, and IIe:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Time Code Reader Program reads SMPTE time code without any extra
- hardware. It includes a large character display, an event recorder,
- a continuity tester, an automatic edit lister, and a time code
- calculator. Data can be saved on the disk and printed out. No additional
- hardware is required. Available in NTSC, 24 and 25 frame formats. A demo
- disk is also available. In production for over two years.
- Time Code Cue Controller allows you to enter a list of time code cues,
- which will then cause a relay closure to occur. This has allowed foreign
- language subtitles to be inserted automatically instead of manually, for
- example. Relay card can be specially designed for your needs. In
- production for over one year.
-
- For the Apple IIe and IIc:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Edit Decision List Program (E-LISTER) allows you to create CMX format
- edit lists on your home computer. It also reads time code without any
- additional hardware (Apple IIe only), so you can enter the in and out points
- while watching the video. Available in NTSC, 24 and 25 frame formats. In
- production for over one year.
-
- For the Amiga:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Time Code Reader Interface (TCRI) plugs into the Amiga second mouse
- port. Professional 3-pin balanced input with mouse connector output.
- Six foot extension cable included. This unit is required for the following
- Amiga programs to read time code.
- Time Code Window Display (TCWD) allows you to make window dubs (with
- optional genlock) using large or small characters from SMPTE time code.
- The Amiga reader reads from one-third to three times play speed. Demo
- available now.
- Time Code Continuity Tester (TCCT) creates a list of time code errors,
- including the time of day for each error. Demo available now.
- Edit Decision List Processor (EDLP) allows you to create CMX or ISC
- format edit lists on your home computer. It also reads time code, so you
- can enter the in and out points while watching the video. You can also
- transfer lists to and from an edit controller's serial port. Demo available
- now.
- Time Code Edit Lister (TCEL) creates an edit list automatically off of an
- edited tape. Just play the tape and TCEL logs the in and out points. The
- list can then be transferred to EDLP or CMX-compatible equipment.
- Available Spring 1987.
- Time Code Event Recorder (TCER) allows you to quickly create a list of
- time code events and comments, which can then be saved or printed.
- Available Summer 1987.
- Time Code Cue Controller (TCCC) allows you to enter a list of time codes
- from the keyboard or from TCER which will trigger an external device.
- Available Summer 1987.
- Time Code Visual Cue Program allows you to enter six time code cues,
- and have each one create a different color visual cue on the monitor
- (streamer). Very easy for non-computer literate people to use. Available
- now.
-
- For the Tandy Model 100
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Time Code Event Recorder (TCER) allows you to quickly create a list of
- time code events and comments, which can then be saved or printed. It will
- be entirely in machine language, and use no extra hardware. Available
- Summer 1987.
-
- Technical Notes
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The time code for the Apple II+ and Apple IIe programs is brought in on
- the built-in cassette port. RCA-type adaptors are supplied. The program
- reads SMPTE longitudinal time code at play speed (+/- 20%) in either
- direction. It is completely frame accurate.
- The time code for the Amiga programs must be brought in to the Time Code
- Reader Interface box, which is then connected and powered off the second
- (normally unused) mouse port. The programs are frame accurate at play speed
- (+/- 25%) in either direction, but can also read code at from one-third to
- three times play speed.
- The time code for the Model 100 is brought into the cassette port, but
- the computer is not fast enough to be frame accurate. Projected
- specification is that it will read every third or fourth frame at play speed
- in either direction.
- If you would like any of the existing programs to read the time code from
- the serial port of any model time code reader (Cipher Digital, for example),
- please contact BCS for a quote. In most cases the charge will be minimal,
- and will be completely refunded if it becomes standard on future versions.
