RTW – Eyes on Your Audio: RTW

The Timecode Reader license provides the Timecode function as a separate mode generating an individual audio group providing the Timecode Reader instrument. It is used to decode and to display an SDI-embedded or LTC timecode using the 3G-SDI interface (if installed) or one of the selectable audio inputs.

With the activated Loudness and SPL Display license (SW20002), it can be used with Loudness and Logging applications. Then, the Loud. Recal. instrument for the control of a loudness measurement by a timecode either with recalcualtion or without is available.

Timecode Reader

The Timecode Reader instrument is used to decode and to display an SDI-embedded or LTC timecode using the 3G-SDI interface (if installed) resp. one of the selectable audio inputs. With Loudness and SPL Display license (SW20002) activated, it can be used with Loudness and Logging applications.

Specifications
Display:			numerical display of LTC (from analog or digital sources) VITC (from SDI data stream)
Mode:			"Timecode" selectable when creating an audio group (constitutes a separate audio group)
Input:			one analog, digital or SDI channel selectable, depending on audio interface being mounted
Colors:			selectable, 32 colors

Loud. Recal.

With the Loud. Recal. (Loudness Recalculation) instrument, the loudness measurement can be controlled by a timecode either with recalculation or without. The Loud. Recal. instrument displays start and end time and the current timecode or only the timecode, especially when interacting with the Loudness Chart instrument (see Logging Data Server license SW20014).
With continuous recalculation, the updated I value is directly available without the need of a complete passage through the program after corrections on overdriven program spots have been done.

Specifications
Display:			numerical display of current timecode start time < current timecode < stop time with recalculation
Start:
- Functions:			Autostart after preset load, autostart with gate, autostart with gate and autoreset, manually via keys or GPI. With Timecode Reader licence (SW20008) activated additional control via timecode resp. timecode with recalculation
- Level for gate:			-70,0 LUFS/LKFS; adjustable from -85 to -10 LUFS/LKFS in steps of 0.5 LUFS/LKFS
Stop:
- Functions:			manually via keys or GPI, autostop with gate, autostop with gate and time. The stop function is automatically set and fixed to timecode, if the start function has been set to a timecode option
- Level for gate:			-70,0 LUFS/LKFS; adjustable from -85 to -10 LUFS/LKFS in steps of 0.5 LUFS/LKFS
- Time for gate:			1 s; adjustable from 1 to 15 s in steps of 1 s

Practical Use

Keep your eyes on your timecode
Use the timecode for loudness and logging applications
Execute timecode-controlled loudness measurements
Use recalculation for doing corrections without a complete passage through the program
