ESE ES-161UE

The ESE ES-161UE is a desktop remote display that slaves to a house time code feed and shows the time on six bright .56-inch yellow LED digits, readable across a room from about 20 feet. It reads SMPTE/EBU, ASCII and ESE Time Code and detects the incoming format automatically, so one display drops into a control room, edit bay or on-air studio without jumper changes. The readout switches between 12 and 24 hour formats and can flip to a date display.

Standard units run on 110-120 VAC. A deep options list keeps it flexible for a facility: an optional time-zone offset, an RS-232 ASCII output, an NPR code input with ESE TC90 output, an NTP network-time option, and UL and 220-240 VAC variants. Rackmount, alternate enclosures and custom colors are available on request.
