Biphase to Time Code Interface
The BIF biphase interface converts biphase signals from mag machines, film projectors or editing tables into LTC longitudinal time code and MTC midi time code simultaneously. The input accepts bi-phase or pulse & direction signals from 1 to 256 pulses per frame and can be connected consequently with any film transport. The electronic gear box resolves any frame rate to 48, 50, 60 Hz or multiple signals. The reference lock point, the user bits, the time code format, the input format and the pulses per frame are programmable and stored in a non volatile memory. The direct conversion from bi-phase signals into time code allows frame accurate spotting by using MTC full / MMC locate messages and positional LTC. In "freerun" operation mode the interface can also be used as an LTC and MTC generator without loosing the actual biphase reference point. The interface has a robust aluminium housing, a large 7-segment LED display and a built-in power supply. An optional rackmount kit for fitting the unit into a 19" rack is also available.
