UD56, 19", 2RU UD56S, 19", 2RU

The UD series includes various time and date displays. The UD can display Time Code, local time, a different time zone or a stopwatch timer. A built-in quartz clock enables continuous operation even if a drop out of signal occurs.

All displays of the type UD56 show hours, minutes and seconds, in a six-digit format. The digit height is 56 mm. UD56S displays also feature an additional seconds ring.

The LEDs feature three selectable colors (red, green, yellow) and an adjustable brightness selector. The brightness can be adjusted manually or can set to an automatic mode, where a photo sensor automatically adjusts the brightness depending on the current level of environmental light.

Various universal interfaces are included, which enable a wide assortment of data or Time Codes to be displayed.

There are three general layouts selectable per display: LTC reading, Ethernet reading and IRIG-B reading.

LTC reading (UDxxL)
LTC reading UD-displays are equipped with an LTC input, a RS485 interface, a selectable RS422/232 interface and four GPI inputs (e.g. for a timer control keypad).

There are several included serial protocol decoders available for the input data communicated via serial interface. Protocols are selected in the configuration mode of the display. An Alpermann+Velte specially developed MTD protocol mode is also included. MTD is a studiotimer solution developed and designed by Alpermann+Velte to deliver several information like countdown timers, difference timers, or timezones.

Ethernet reading (UDxxE)
Ethernet reading UD displays are equipped with an RJ45 port. Supported protocols are NTP and MTDoE (MTD timer distribution over LAN/WAN; please see our separate leaflet for further information). Different time servers can be addressed, in order to “bridge” a signal that may be lost. SNMP monitoring is optionally available.

The configuration of the display, the selection of available display formats, brightness and colors are done via the USB interface or via a standard internet browser (Ethernet displays only). Software updates are made using the standard USB interface.

IRIG-B reading (UDxxI)
IRIG-B reading UD-displays are equipped with an IRIG-B input, and a selectable RS422/232 interface.

For possible combinations please see the chart below

UD56-W UD Display Wall Mount Kit The Wall Mount Kit is suitable for fastening all 19” displays of the UD Series on a wall or a table. One 2RU display (e.g. UD56), or two 1RU displays (e.g. UDD25) can be mounted. Thanks to the bipartite design and differential drill-holes, the kit can be mounted in a flexible way. Several angles can be achieved.
