Details
Controls: Front-panel LTC/MTC and chase-sync control
I/O: LTC in/out (XLR); RS422 chase (device/controller); USB-MIDI; MTC<->LTC conversion; MMC-to-Sony-P2 conversion; word-clock or SD/HD video sync reference; 7 GPIO + 9 GPI; GPO events; real-time clock; large 14mm LED display
Notable use: Chases RS422 devices to LTC/MTC (tested with Blackmagic Hyperdeck, lockup <2s); DAWs, non-linear video editors, mixing consoles, show/lighting control; replaces the older P2MMC model
Notes: FLAG: this unit also performs RS422 machine-chase-synchronizer duties (a control/transport function) in addition to timecode generation/reading/conversion; kept in-scope and mapped to Clock because its primary listed function is timecode generation/reading/conversion with real-time clock, per brief's Clock mapping for TC-5 family. No dedicated timecode leaf in taxonomy. Price not published on page (blank, not a GBP omission). The sibling model on the same page, TC-5B-Midi, is explicitly discontinued/replaced by TC-5net Midi and was excluded as not current.
