The ES-996U is a Time Code display featuring 2.3 in. high red LED displays. The unit is housed in a black-textured aluminum wall-mount enclosure (5 in. H x 15 in. W x 3.5 in. D). The unit accepts via the rear-mounted terminal block (BNC connector on rack-panel units) either ESE Time Code(TM) (TC76 or TC89 or TC90) or SMPTE/EBU Time Code. RS-232C ASCII Time Code (format 0 or 1 or A at 9600 baud) may be input via the rear-mounted 9-pin connector. The ES-996U will automatically determine which code is being received. A rear-mounted 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 or date-encoded SMPTE/EBU or ASCII formats 1 or A). If the Time Zone option is ordered -- a rear-accessible DIP switch is installed for this function. If receiving ESE Time Code from a timer -- the unit will display Minutes and Seconds and Tenths of Seconds (if the timer has the Tenths option).
