3.33 SL: LTC Monitoring and Changeover Unit
This module can frame accurate and in real-time compare and contrast two incoming LTCs
for indescribable differences. In the event of a failure, “SL” automatically switches to the other
faultless source. The SL module is a must for all time code systems where failure proof LTC is a
requirement. This includes real-time and MTD Time Timer Timecode applications. Additionally,
it monitors LTC and reference errors, LTC/LTC and LTC/reference differences, and it makes
status information about all sources available.
