The ESE LX-161U Timecode Display from TecNec features 0.56" yellow LED displays. The unit accepts, via the rear-mounted BNC connector, either ESE timecode (TC76, TC89, or TC90) or SMPTE/EBU timecode. RS-232C ASCII timecode (format 0, 1, or A at 9,600 baud) can be input via the rear-mounted 9-pin connector. The LX-161U automatically determines which code is being received. An internal DIP switch is used to configure the display for 12 or 24 hour format or to display the date instead of time-of-day (if incoming time code contains date information, such as ESE TC90, date-encoded SMPTE/EBU or ASCII formats 1 or A). If receiving ESE timecode from a timer, then the unit display minutes, seconds, and tenths of seconds (if the timer has the tenths option).

Up to 100 slave units can be driven, up to 4000' away.
