Product Description

As a replacement for the industry standard SR-15+, the Brainstorm SR-112 reshapes and distributes time code, while analyzing it. A large 8 digit reader is included on the front panel and an error report can be sent via the ethernet port. All modern SMPTE and EBU SD/HD rates are supported. But, unlike the SR-15+, the new SR-112, with the optional generator software (TCG), can also repair bad time codes and generate new ones.TIME CODE ANALYZER: Eliminates frustrations and downtime by identifying quickly and accurately errors with a powerful time code analyzer.Time code format & Frame Rate: The front panel displays separately the format (24, 25 or 30), the drop frame status and the frame rate of the incoming time code.For example: 30 drop at a rate of 29.97. No more guessing!In addition, the frame rate counter can show potential problems such as jitter or wow and flutter.Time code errors: Time code errors such as repeated frames, drop outs etc. are detected and reported on the front panel along with the faulty addresses. A buzzer sounds whenever the analyzer detects an error.Video Phase: In post production, it is essential that time code be synchronous with video (i.e. the video frame must be perfectly aligned with the corresponding time code word).

The SR-112 accurately monitors the phase between time code and video and reports even slow drifts.Time code report: A comprehensive report that includes format, video phase and time code errors can be sent to a computer via the rear panel Ethernet port.DISTRIBUTOR/ RESHAPER: While analyzing, the SR-112 distributes and reshapes time code through a 1x12 distributor.Buffered outputs: The 12 time code outputs are balanced and buffered, avoiding the problems caused by multing a single source.Output Levels: Output levels are adjustable individually via the Output Level menus. Since the signal is reshaped, output levels remain constant, regardless of the input level.Reshaping: The Brainstorm Time Code Distributors are more than audio DA's: they reshape the signal before distributing it. By reshaping the signal, the SR-112 eliminates amplitude distortions and input level fluctuations.TIME CODE GENERATOR - OPTIONAL SOFTWARE: TCGAn optional software (TCG) can be purchased that adds a time generator module to the SR-112. This TGC has 2 main functions: Repairing time code and generating new time code.Repairing Time Code: In REPAIR mode, the SR-112 fixes drop outs by regenerating the incoming code (jam-sync). It can also correct video phase when it is missaligned.Generating new Time Code: In GENERATE mode, the SR-112 generates new time code. Start time, format and frame rate can be set. The generator can also be genlocked to external video.
