MTD (Multi Time Display) is a studiotimer solution developed and designed by Alpermann+Velte to deliver several information like countdown timers, difference timers, or timezones via the userbits of an LTC.

With the newest option M for A+Vs ethernet modules, MTD data isn’t bound to Timecode anymore and can be sent over local area network, so control units and displays can be used in a flexible and mobile way.

Only a network port is needed to have full studio timer access with a display or control unit.

The timer distribution via network can be used in versatile and comfortable ways:

Control units and displays are usable in a mobile way. They can directly be installed in the place of action in a plug-and-play style.

There’s no more need for a circumstantial LTC distribution, if the accurate studio time needs to be displayed outside of the engineering rooms.

Configuration can be done at any workspace in the studio.

For a simple determination of several devices, alias names and groups can be allocated.

PoE (Power over Ethernet) doesn’t only allow for all necessary data to be transported via network cabling, but power supplement as well. In the best case, that way only a single cable is needed to hook up the hardware.

A complete MTDoE system consists of the minimum following configuration:

• a referenced generator module
• a timer control unit
• an ethernet module IE
• Option M for the IE module

MTDoE can be added afterwards to an already existing generator system.

The following products are available as MTDoE control and read-out devices:

TCUE Timer Control Unit, tabletop housing		UD25E 25mm display, 19” 1RU
UDD25E 25mm double display, 19” 1RU		UD25TTE 25mm display, tabletop housing
UD56E 56mm display, 19” 2RU		UD56ES 56mm display, seconds ring, 19” 2RU
UD300E 300mm display

Exept for the displays UD56ES and UD300E, all ethernet read-out devices optionally support power over ethernet. If desired, option UD-PoE has to be ordered additionally with every display.

If the existing network switch doesn’t support PoE, an ethernet power injector (PI) can be interposed.
