Injury Precautions
This product includes a power supply; therefore, potentially lethal voltages are present within
this product during normal operation. Observe the following precautions:
WARNING:
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this product to rain or moisture.
WARNING:
Potentially lethal voltages present. Disconnect the power cord before
you open the chassis for maintenance and service.
Potentially lethal voltages are present within this product during
normal operation. The power cord must be disconnected before you
open the chassis. Power should not be applied to the product during
normal operation while any cover is missing.
Only properly trained personnel may carry out maintenance and
service.
POWER SOURCE
This product is intended to operate from a power source that will not apply more
than 264Vrms between the supply conductors or between both supply and ground.
A protective ground connection by way of the grounding conductor in the power
cord is essential for safe operation.
USE PROPER POWER CORD
To avoid fire hazard, use only power cords rated to your operating voltage.
Standard minimum ratings: voltage ≥ 250 V, current ≥ 3 A.
USE PROPER FUSE
To avoid fire hazard, use only fuses of the correct type:
250 V, 1 A, slow–acting, 5 x 20 mm.
GROUNDING THE PRODUCT
This product is grounded through the grounding conductors of the power entry
and power cord. To avoid electric shock, plug the power cord into a properly
wired receptacle before connecting the product input or output terminals. A
protective ground connection by way of the grounding conductor in the power
cord is essential for safe operation. Upon loss of the protective ground
connection, all accessible conducting parts can render an electric shock.
DO NOT OPERATE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE
Warning: To avoid injury or fire hazard, do not operate this product in an
explosive atmosphere.

Product Damage Precautions
PREVENT OVERHEATING
To prevent product overheating, position this product only where sufficient air
circulation can be maintained. Good air circulation is essential to prevent
internal heat build–up, do not block any ventilation openings. Do not expose this
product to direct sun light or any other strong lights. Keep this product away from
heat sources.
Install this product in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
PROVIDE PROPER ENVIRONMENT
Dust, humidity, shocks and strong electromagnetic fields must be avoided. Do
not expose this product to dripping or splashing water. Ensure that no objects
filled with liquid are placed on this product.
UNPLUG DURING LIGHTNING STORMS
Unplug this product during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of
time. Alternative: Use a UPS or power surge suppressor.
OBSERVE EMC REGULATIONS
The EMC regulations are observed only under the following condition: Use high
quality shielded cables at data inputs and outputs.
SUSPECTED FAILURES
Whenever it is likely that safe operation is impaired, this product must be made
inoperative and secured against unintended operation. The appropriate service
authority must then be informed. Do not operate with suspected failures.
Servicing is required if this product has been damaged in any way, such as
power–supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have
fallen into this product, this product has been exposed to rain or moisture, does
not operate normally, or has been dropped.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE: CLEANING
Qualified Service Personnel Only:
This product should be cleaned often enough to prevent dust or dirt from
accumulating. Dust accumulating in this product acts as an insulating blanket,
preventing proper cooling, and possibly causing overheating and component
breakdown. Under high humidity conditions, accumulated dust can also provide
an electrical conduction path. Remove accumulated dust with a soft cloth or small
paint brush. Remove hardened dirt with a soft cloth, dampened in a mild
detergent and water solution. Do not use polish or abrasive cleaners or any other
chemical cleaning agents.

Installation & Operation Manual TCC70XS
Page 13
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE: VISUAL INSPECTION
Qualified Service Personnel Only:
Visually inspect this product for signs of damage, scorched components, and
loose or disconnected pin connectors. If you discover heat damaged parts, try to
determine the cause of the overheating before replacing the damaged parts;
otherwise, the damage may repeat.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
CAUTION
All semiconductor devices are sensitive to ESD. To prevent any damage or
degradation on components of the product caused by ESD, observe these
precautions if directed to do so (installing, removing sensitive components):
1. Use a Ground Strap. Wear a grounded anti–static wrist or heel strap to discharge the
static voltage from your body.
2. Use a Safe Work Area. Avoid handling components in areas that have a floor or work
surface covering capable of generating a static charge. Also, nothing capable of
generating or holding a static charge should be allowed in the work area.
3. Handle ESD sensitive components carefully. Do not slide components over any surface.
Do not touch exposed connector pins. Pick–up components by the body, never by the
leads.
4. Transport and store sensitive components or assemblies in a static–protected bag or
container.

1 Introducing TCC70XS
1.1 Overview
TCC70XS is a 19“ 1 RU stand–alone time code system, which combines generator, reader,
and inserter functionality.
There are two different hardware configurations, the current TCC70XS (v2), built from mid-
2015, and the previous TCC70XS, built up to mid-2015. They differ in some connectors and
in the standard configuration: The RS485/RS422/RS232 serial interface is optional with
TCC70XS (v2).
These are the –all integrated –components of the product:
•8–digit LED display.
•OLED display for status feedback.
•Four programmable function keys.
•Integrated power supply.
•Ethernet functionality: set–up and status information via browser; SNMP, NTP server
and NTP client.
•USB port, used for set–up, status monitor, and firmware updates.
•Time code readers for LTC, D-VITC, ATC_LTC, and ATC_VITC.
•Generator for the LTC, D-VITC, ATC_LTC, and ATC_VITC types of time code.
•Input for serial digital video signals: SD, HD, 3G.
•Video output, format of the video signals same as video input.
•Four GPIOs, individually configurable as input or output.
•An external real–time reference (GPS, DCF77) can be connected. In this case GPIO_1
will be the input for a PPS and GPIO_2 the input for time & date.
•Serial interface RS485/RS422/RS232, depending on configuration.
The following methods of operating are provided for the time code generator:
•REAL–TIME: Using a real–time reference (GPS, DCF77, NTP), the time information of
the time code corresponds to a local time zone. You can setup any local time zone
including a Daylight-Saving Time.
•FREE: The time code generator counts the time continuously without any time jumps.
•START: The time code starts with a preset value. A start–stop operation is possible.
•JAM SYNC: The time code generator receives data from the time code reader. Time
code of type LTC, D-VITC, ATC_LTC, and ATC_VITC can both be read and generated.
Additionally, read time code can be transferred via serial interface RS232/RS422,
depending on configuration. This method enables the following time code conversions:
