The TVC-50 reads SMPTE LTC time code and provides a display overlay of time and date onto SD NTSC or PAL analog composite video based on the time and user bit value and date from an internal clock/calendar. The TVC-50 provides numerous time and date display formats and is an ideal video time/date display device for use with the Horita UTG-50 or GPS-MTG2 master SMPTE time code generator.
