Features & Specifications
Product Overview +
Multi-Format Reference Timing for Broadcast & Enterprise
The Evertz 1200DD and 1201DD are professional LED digital clocks designed for television studios, master control rooms, military facilities, and sports venues. Capable of functioning as primary master clocks, timecode readers, or time-of-day displays, these units lock instantly to SMPTE ST 12-1 Linear Time Code (LTC), Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers, or 1kHz IRIG-B signals. When timecode is applied, the clock automatically sets itself to precise time; if the reference drops, flashing colons alert operators while the internal quartz oscillator holds accurate time.
Dual Chassis Heights and High-Visibility Displays
To fit diverse rack and wall-mount applications, the series is available in two form factors. The 2RU 1200DD provides high-visibility 2.25-inch tall 7-segment LED digits for large master control walls and production floors. The 1RU 1201DD offers 1.00-inch tall digits ideal for compact equipment racks and desk consoles. Standard models ship with high-efficiency red LEDs, with optional green LEDs (+G) available for custom visual coding.
Worldwide Time Zone Offsets and Standalone Generation
When no central timecode generator is present, the 1200DD series can act as an independent timecode generator, driving multiple display devices via its rear-panel XLR LTC output. Built-in software features support programmable time zone offsets (from -12 to +12 hours in 0.5-hour steps) to display GMT, UTC, or regional secondary time zones. Dedicated front-panel pushbuttons and a 9-pin RS-232 serial port allow easy menu navigation and local manual setup.
Robust Power Protection and Network Integration
The 1200DD series incorporates an internal CR-2032 lithium battery to maintain continuous time-keeping through total AC power failure. Equipped with an RJ-45 Ethernet port, the units operate as RFC-1305 compliant NTP clients and integrate into Evertz VistaLINK network management systems for central device monitoring, status alerting, and system-wide configuration.
