5010-GPSII & 5010-VITC-GPSII

Time code Generator/Reader with Character Inserter, and GPS Antenna

The Evertz 5010-GPSII Time Code Master combines the features of our standard 5010 timecode generator with the ability to produce GPS referenced SMPTE/EBU time code anywhere on the face of the globe. The GPS (Global Positioning System) technology provides the 5010-GPSII Time Code Master with an accurate source of time reference. The system is ideally suited for OB or mobile operations and any professional television broadcast applications where accurate time references are a must.

The 5010-GPSII system may be programmed to request a time reference from the GPS receiver automatically, daily, or on demand. The 5010-GPSII can be ordered in two configurations. Model 5010-GPSII is an LTC Generator, Reader, Character Inserter with Accutime GPS receiver. Model 5010-VITC-GPSII comes complete with Vertical Interval Time Code capability.
