3.1Overview
3.2Time Code Formats
3.2.1Pulse Rise Time. The specified pulse (dc level shift bit) rise time shall be obtained between the 10 and 90 percent amplitude points (see Appendix C).
3.2.2Jitter. The modulated code is defined as 1 percent at the carrier frequency. The dc level shift code is defined as the pulse-to-pulse variation at the 50 percent amplitude points on the leading edges of successive pulses or bits (see Appendix C
3.2.3Bit Rates and Index Count. Each pulse in a time code word/sub-word is called a bit. The "on-time" reference point for all bits is the leading edge of the bit. The repetition rate at which the bits occur is called the bit rate. Each bit has an as
3.2.4Time Frame, Time Frame Reference, and Time Frame Rates. A time code frame begins with a frame reference marker P0 (position identifier) followed by a reference bit Pr with each having duration equal to 0.8 of the index count interval of the resp
3.2.5Position Identifiers. Position identifiers have durations equal to 0.8 of the index count interval of the respective code. The leading edge of the position identifier P0 occurs one index count interval before the frame reference point Pr and the s
3.2.6Time Code Words. The two time code words employed in this standard are:
3.2.7BCD Time-of-Year Code Word. The BCD time-of-year and year code word consists of sub-words in days, hours, minutes, seconds, and year with fractions of a second in a BCD representation and time-of-day in SBS of day. The position identifiers precedi
3.2.8Control Functions. All time code formats reserve a set of bits known as control functions (CF) for the encoding of various control, identification, and other special purpose functions. The control bits may be programmed in any predetermined codi
3.2.9Index Markers. Index markers occur at each index count position, which is not assigned as a reference marker, position identifier, code, or control function bit. Each index marker bit has duration equal to 0.2 of the index count interval of the re
3.2.10Amplitude Modulated Carrier. A standard sine wave carrier frequency to be amplitude modulated by a time code is synchronized to have positive-going, zero-axis crossings coincident with the leading edges of the modulating code bits. A mark-to-spac
