Features |
|
Time Code Reader Time Code Converter Time Code Inserter LTC,DVITC, ATC, UMID, Ancillary Data SDI (DT ), 3G/HD/SD (XT) MTD compatible TC_link compatible Programmable in/output GPIs 4 programmable front profile buttons Optional available features Video bypass relay (option B) Sony 9P protocol converter (option S) Programmable offset (option O) Converter biphase/CTL to LTC(option P) |
The Rubidium series modules DT, and XT are Time Code inserters and converters designed to work with different video formats. All Time Code and data formats are processed by a built-in reader and/or generator which is compliant to the EBU/SMPTE standards.
Both modules have almost identical features and differ mainly in the type of video that they can process:
| RUBIDIUM DT: |
|
digital video channel (SDI), window insertion, DVITC- and ATC Time Code, Ancillary Data, UMID |
| RUBIDIUM XT: |
|
digital video channel (3G, HD-SDI and SDI) window insertion, DVITC- and ATC - Time Code, Ancillary Data, UMID |
| The rear panel includes the following connectors: | |

Four configurable function keys are located on the front panel, allowing fast selection of functions or loading
preset profiles. Backlit keys and four signal LEDs indicate the status of the module. A blue identification
button shows the module’s model name.
RUBIDIUM H1 DT module in H1 housing
Modules can be inserted in any order into the slots of the housing. Each slot position has its own address within the communal housing identification system. This enables a specific identification of each module within a bigger system. Alias names can be given to the hard stamped numerical address via the supplied configuration software.
Via our IE Ethernet module, browser configuration, status control and SNMP functions are available. Every module is connected to an internal hot swappable bus, which bilaterally connects all modules within a particular housing. The internal bus can be distributed over several housings by using the RLC port.The RLC-plug contains a voltage feed, a failure relay output and a TC_link interface. TC_link is a real time capable proprietary interface, which is based on a customized RS485 interface.
On the rearside of every housing, a PC interface (USB/RS232) can be found. This serial connection is used for configuration, status control, and also software and firmware updates.
All data and Time Code formats received via RS232/422, LTC/DVITC/ATC/Ancillary Data, and TC_link can be inserted and converted.
Up to fifteen separate user configurable windows can be inserted. Each inserter window has its own character set, character / windows attributes and source data. This defines the size of the window, the character size and type as well as the character and mask colour. The inserters specifications can be stored and recalled via the configuration program as a profile. These profiles can be selected via the front-sided backlit buttons or via the serial PC configuration port.
Web Browser Configuration
Up to eight character sets from the local characters memory are stored in the module and can be recalled simultaneously for insertion. The DT/XT supports full multicolour insertions. All insertions are available with and without a mask. Brightness and color values are separately selectable. Character size can be selected between 16 to 72 lines (DT) or 16 to 139 lines (XT). Transparent masks and flashing characters can be chosen as well.
TC_link enables data interchange between different modules. A generator module could e.g. be set (triggered) with an external VITC value, which could simultaneously be converted into an ATC by an module. The modules are equipped with the following reader/generator/converter functions:
All data in the SMPTE/EBU metadata dictionary can be inserted as Ancillary Data. Methods for the implementation of these values are included. Various options for specifically designed or custom broadcast encoded transfers, e.g. the “monochrome transfer for MPEG” for transporting ancillary data are available and are supported by an optionally obtainable software. The universal input/output interfaces of all RUB modules allow for various optional converter features.
Some popular examples are a biphase converter (CTL to Time Code), Sony 9PConverter and „offset-generation“. There are many customer specific applications possible, so please do not hesitate to ask us for suggested solutions.
