Horita TCW-50 Keyboard Time Code Wedge SMPTE Time Code Interface
Horita TCW-50 Keyboard Time Code "Wedge"
The HORITA TCW-50 Time Code Wedge reads SMPTE LTC time code and sends the information to the PC as though it were typed in at the keyboard. The TCW-50 connects between the PC and keyboard, and is intended for applications requiring direct input of time code values into user software programs. Because there is no "wedge" PC software involved, the TCW-50 is compatible with any computer, computer system, or software program, regardless of whether the system is operating under DOS, WINDOWS, UNIX, etc. The only requirement is an IBM PC or compatible type of keyboard.
