The 2.3" 6-Digit Timecode Reader from ESE is designed to autodetect, read, and display either SMPTE, EBU, ASCII, or ESE timecode. The display comes in a wall-mountable enclosure and features 2.3" tall red LED numbers on a black background, viewable from up to 70' away.

The timecode reader's features include an error detection indicator, error correction, date display mode, master clock sync, 12- or 24-hour format, drop frame or non-drop frame timecode, and flicker-free operation. The reader connects to a master clock or other timecode source using a wire pair or coaxial cable with parallel, serial, or both types of connections. Its configuration is adjusted using dip switches.
