The ESE LX-5212U is a 12" Digital and Analog Clock. The unit is designed to read and display time as received from most any source of time code. Alternatively, the clock may be manually set and operated in stand-alone mode. Six 1" high LEDs display hours, minutes and seconds. Simultaneously, 60 discrete LEDs simulate the "analog" sweep of the Second Hand. Twelve other discrete LEDs, located around the dial at 5-second increments, stay lit continuously and serve as reference indicators. Three Brightness controls allow the intensity of the three "sets" of LEDs to be set independently.
The unit accepts several types of input data: SMPTE/EBU time code, ESE Time CodeT (or ESE Timer Code™ - the right hand picture above shows a Countdown Timer display) or ASCII time code.
LX-5212 can also receive "Timer" code from any ESE "Up" or "Up/Down" Timer (with or without tenths of seconds) and display Timer information with Second-Hand fully operational. When counting "Down", a minus sign "-" appears to the left of the minutes display. If displaying tenths of seconds, the minus sign is omitted.
