3.26 VI: LTC or IRIG Distribution Amplifier
This module distributes and amplifies one input to six LTC (EBU/SMPTE) or IRIG time code
outputs. A seventh spare output stage together with a change-over relay at each of the six
outputs enables complete redundant output signals. Each output stage is monitored for signal
failures. Alarm outputs are available: GPIs, lamps, LEDs and SNMP traps.
