The Masterclock TCDS46-GN Time Code Digital Display synchronizes to IRIG or SMPTE Time Code sources to provide accurate, traceable timing for professional and technical environments. The display supports multiple Time Code formats and is designed for applications requiring dependable, externally referenced time presentation.
In addition to displaying synchronized output from a Time Code reference, the TCDS supports countdown and count-up functionality when used with optional Masterclock remote count controllers, including the RC600 and RC1000. This capability allows the display to be used in operational, testing, broadcast, and mission-critical environments where controlled timing is required.
The TCDS accepts IRIG-B and SMPTE Time Code signals and automatically interprets supported formats. When a valid Time Code reference is unavailable, the display maintains operation using a battery-backed real-time clock chip, allowing continued operation with minimal drift until the reference is restored.
