The Evertz 1201DDG is an LED digital clock with 7-segment-digit display. They may operate as a timecode-reading clock or as a SMPTE ST 12-1 linear timecode reader, simply displaying the input timecode. In addition to SMPTE ST 12-1 timecode, the clocks can operate on the internal quartz time base from IRIG-B, a GPS antenna or NTP. This multi-way reference capability allows easy integration into new or existing clock systems.
The model 1201DD clock face has 1.00" tall digits that may display HH:MM:SS AM/PM or HH:MM:SS FF depending on the control settings. The brightness of the digital LEDs is adjustable.
Clock installation is simple when one of the time sources is available. Apply power, connect time, select the input source and the clock takes care of the rest, instantly setting to the correct time. If time source fails, the colons flash twice per second to signal it's absence. Any time discrepancy on return of timecode is instantly corrected. This also applies to timecode changes such as Standard Time to Daylight Savings Time.
When no source of timecode is available, the 1201DD may be configured as a timecode generator, using the internal quartz crystal.
The rear panel input and output connections for timecode are XLR connectors. The IRIG-B input is a BNC and the NTP is a RJ45 Ethernet connector. The GPS input is a DB9 connector. The GPS feature requires the +GP option to be purchased. When operating with no time source, the clock time can be easily set by means of three miniature pushbuttons on the front panel, which are also used to control the setup menu.
