Brainstorm Time Code Distributor/Reshaper

About: Brainstorm Time Code Distributor/Reshaper

Features:

•     2 x 8 time code distributor
•     Designed to send TC over long cables
•     Buffered outputs; balanced or unbalanced
•     Individual output level adjust
•     Low input threshold can help recover unreadable code
•     Reshaper eliminates amplitude distortions and level fluctuations
•     2 power inputs for redundancy

Buffered Outputs

• Multing a single time code source to multiple destination can cause many problems. The SR-28 eliminates those by distributing timecode through balanced and buffered outputs.

Reshaping vs DA

• The Brainstorm Timecode Distributors are more than audio DA’s: they reshape the signal before distributing it. Audio DA’s on the other hand, transfer all distortions and level fluctuations present at the source.

 
Low Input Threshold:

• The SR-28 recognizes time code at levels much lower than the threshold of many readers (better than -30db) while still safely above the noise floor. This feature makes it often possible to recover unreadable code by reshaping it, almost as if it was regenerating over drop outs.

Output Level Adjust

• Output levels are adjustable individually via front panel pots from full off to +12db. These adjusted levels remain constant regardless of input level fluctuations.

Switchable Rise Times:

• The output rise time (slew limiting) is switchable between 25μs (SMPTE), 50μs (EBU) and 1μs (square wave, preferred by most readers).

Cleaning Up Unreadable Time Code

• By eliminating amplitude distortions and level fluctuations the SR-28 can often recover unreadable code.

Dual Redundant Power Supply

• The SR-28 provides 2 power inputs and an automatic switch over in case of failure.

Live Applications

• The SR-28 can drive timecode over long cables making it ideal for synchronization during live shows and remote recording.
