ESE HD-453/SD SDI Embedded SMPTE/EBU Time Code Display

The HD-453/SD decodes RP-188/SMPTE 12M-2 time code embedded in an incoming SD, HD or 3G-SDI signal on a rear BNC and shows it on an 8-digit, .56 inch yellow LED display, automatically detecting the video format and locking to whatever arrives. A front switch toggles the readout between hours/minutes/seconds/frames and the user-bit digits carried alongside the time code.

An optional ESE Time Code output puts TC89 on a rear BNC that can drive up to 100 slave displays as far as 4000 feet away, extending the embedded SDI timecode out to a whole facility's worth of remote readouts. It runs on universal 90-264 VAC in a desktop case, with a rack-mount option available.
