TCR Series User's Manual Overview 2-15
Cooling Fan
A single fan is provided for cooling. Air intakes are located on the side panels. To provide optimum
air flow, do not obstruct the air intakes or block the rear fan outlet.
AC Power
The TCR recorder includes a dedicated power supply that is pre-configured at the factory for the
proper line voltage. Please verify that the voltage, as checked off above the AC connector, matches
your country’s voltage standard.
Ground Post
A Ground Post (GND) is provided to allow you to tie the TCR unit to your facility’s technical ground
reference. This ground post is not intended to be used in place of the safety ground wire in the mains
power cord.
Sync and Time Code Section

SYNC AND TIME CODE
Note The TCR’s Setup Sync and Time Code Menu is used to select the
desired reference and sync inputs.
Word Clock In
The WORD CLOCK IN connector (BNC) accepts a TTL signal, typically generated by
another digital audio recorder or workstation. Word Clock is a 5 V p-p square wave at the
sampling frequency.
Word Clock Out
The WORD CLOCK OUT connector (BNC) is an independent TTL-level output, not a loop-
through, that is clocked at the sample rate of the TCR’s current operating mode. The output
operates at all times, even when there is no Word Clock input connected or when TCR is idle.
VITC Input
The VITC IN connector (BNC) accepts an analog video signal with embedded VITC
(Vertical Interval Time Code). This signal is used by the TCR as a positioning and
synchronization input.VITC can be used in place of LTC (Longitudinal Time Code) to
synchronize to a VTR that does not provide an LTC output.
