Betso Transceiver Set of Multifunctional 16 Channel Transceivers for Time Code

Description

The
TCXS Set of
multi-functional
16 channel transceivers for the time code transmission
from
BETSO
meets the tough requirements of everyday use both from the mechanical as well as from the functional point of view. Applied anodized aluminum such as a high quality treatment process ensures a long product life and maximum satisfaction of its use. Set of multi-functional 16 channel transceivers BETSO TCXS is formed by two
multi-functional
16
channel
transceiver BETSO TCX.
Radio transmission of SMPTE TC signal
Multi-functional 16 channel transceiver BETSO TCX
allows reception and transmission of TC signal on any of the 16 independent RF channels in a frequency band 433.15 - 434.65 MHz with a bandwidth of 100kHz.
Multi-functional 16 channel transceiver BETSO TCX
supports both standard and packet mode of transmission of TC
according to
BETSO PACKET
TM
standard and furthermore it allows also reception of TC signal in standard mode.
Standard
BETSO PACKET
TM
was developed to significantly reduce the transmission failure in the interfering radio environment. This standard allows to transmit TC signal to the wireless slate
BETSO WTCS and to the scripting device BETSO WSR and to operate this devices
at a distance up to 450 m from the transmitter of TC signal
in the conditions of direct visibility. Standard
BETSO PACKET
TM
doesn't allow the configuration of two multi-functional 16 channel transceivers BETSO TCX for a TC signal transmission, this standard is designed exclusively for increase of range and resistance against a noise
in the interfering radio environment during of use of the wireless slate
BETSO WTCS and the scripting device BETSO WSR.
Standard TC signal transmission mode allows
the configuration of two multi-functional 16 channel transceivers BETSO TCX for a TC signal transmission.
Set of multi-functional 16 channel transceivers is possible to use with any other wired or wireless device processing SMPTE TC signal
.
This standard allows to operate
TC BETSO TCXS
at a distance up to 350 m
in the conditions of direct visibility.
Support of SMPTE TC signals
Set of multi-functional 16 channel transceiver BETSO TCXS supports all existing frame rates in the range of 23.976 fps - 30 fps, and both drop frame, and non-drop frame formats. Set of multi-functional 16 channel transceiver BETSO TCXS can process up to
two times sped up TC
signal (for use in music videos etc.).
Function overview of BETSO TCXS
The change of the settings of  multi-functional 16 channel transceiver BETSO TCX and call of battery level function are controlled by multi-functional button ON/OFF
.
The settings of the RF channel can be done by mechanical rotary switch using enclosed screwdriver.
L
