Digital Clock Display
OVERVIEW Revision 1.0 Page - 1
1. OVERVIEW
The 1275T/1285T is a multifunction time-of-day display that can act as a slave to a master clock
system or as a self-contained, pre-settable clock.
Sixty bright rectangular LEDs are mounted in a circular arrangement simulating an analog second
hand. Twelve individual round LEDs indicate the hour. In addition, the hours, minutes and seconds are
displayed in digital format.
As a slave display, the unit will read SMPTE/EBU/DQS-B6/NTP time code. The user can program time
zone offsets from the incoming code. As a standalone clock, it can be programmed to operate in either
12 or 24 hour mode. Three unobtrusive front panel push-buttons allow presetting and accurate
synchronization to a standard time source.
The product comes in two sizes - 9” and 12” clock display. Beautifully finished with black wood trim, the
1275T/1285T are ideally suited for studio, lobby, board room or office mounting.
Features and Benefits:
•LED brightness is adjustable
•Runs on 50/60Hz, 115/230V AC power line
•User-programmable time offsets
•VistaLINK® control for device configuration and status monitoring with support of the CP-2232E
or CP-2116E-H Advanced Systems Control Panel
•Programmable daylight saving time start & end times NTP client
