RS422
At the most basic level, each Cinedeck channel has a bi-directional RS-422 port, accessible to devices such as those from DNF that typically run a BVW or SRW deck. Each Cinedeck channel can fully replace a traditional RS-422 controlled VTR, also for tasks such as Digital Cut from an Avid. In addition, Cinedeck channels can be controlled via VDCP over RS-422.
Third party RS-422 controllers include:
DNF ST100 and ST400
Controllers by JLCooper
Controllers by Lance Design
That same RS-422 port is reversible, allowing the Cinedeck to control an attached device such as a VTR using BVW or SRW commands.
Recommended RS422 card: Antona USB Multi Serial Interface Adapter - ANC-6204
Timecode
Cinedeck provide internally generated timecode, can accept embedded SDI timecode or external ‘LTC’ and display the data on screen and optionally burn the data into the video of selected files while recording the data with the incoming source. IRIG-B timecode is also supported.
For LTC or IRIG timecode support additional hardware is required.
LTC
Cinedeck recommend you install LTC cards in your CD2 when doing multi-cam/multi-server records.
The Cinedeck ZX/RX are supplied with the AEC-PCIe-41 (BNC,FULB) - LTC Reader Board with BNC option made by Adrienne Electronics.
