GMT Operation

Aaton's GMT is a small, external, SMPTE timecode generator specifically designed to provide a high precision timecode source for digital audio recorders, timecode slates, PC laptops and other related equipment.

GMTs Many Uses

Utilizing a GMT helps to increase accuracy and streamline the Aatoncode system. GMT offers 1ppm accuracy (just like the camera) in a versatile, easy to use package.

GMT is most often used to record real-time in the control track of multi-track audio recorders or to generate the most accurate SMPTE code available for devices such as timecode recorders, slates and inserters.

Basic Features

The unit is equipped with two identical Lemo5 input/outputs for timecode interfacing. As either one can be used for initialization and communication with Origin Cplus (in ASCii form) or by jam syncing from any SMPTE Ltc (24, 25, 29.97df, 30), the other is used to externally generate the same code in SMPTE (24, 25, 29.97df, 30) for a given device,

Each of the Lemo5 SMPTE outputs provide both a 0-5V TTL level and 20db to 80db adjustable low level for audio recorder mic or line input.

Changing the SMPTE Frame Rate

The GMT has an internal frame rate selector that can supply SMPTE out at 24, 25, 29.97 df or 30.
