For the Apple II+, and IIe:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  Time Code Reader Program reads SMPTE time code without any extra
hardware.  It includes a large character display, an event recorder,
a continuity tester, an automatic edit lister, and a time code
calculator.  Data can be saved on the disk and printed out.  No additional
hardware is required.  Available in NTSC, 24 and 25 frame formats.  A demo
disk is also available.  In production for over two years.
   Time Code Cue Controller allows you to enter a list of time code cues,
which will then cause a relay closure to occur.  This has allowed foreign
language subtitles to be inserted automatically instead of manually, for
example.  Relay card can be specially designed for your needs.  In
production for over one year.

For the Apple IIe and IIc:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   Edit Decision List Program (E-LISTER) allows you to create CMX format
edit lists on your home computer.  It also reads time code without any
additional hardware (Apple IIe only), so you can enter the in and out points
while watching the video.  Available in NTSC, 24 and 25 frame formats.  In
production for over one year.

For the Amiga:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   Time Code Reader Interface (TCRI) plugs into the Amiga second mouse
port.  Professional 3-pin balanced input with mouse connector output.
Six foot extension cable included.  This unit is required for the following
Amiga programs to read time code.
   Time Code Window Display (TCWD) allows you to make window dubs (with
optional genlock) using large or small characters from SMPTE time code.
The Amiga reader reads from one-third to three times play speed.  Demo
available now.
   Time Code Continuity Tester (TCCT) creates a list of time code errors,
including the time of day for each error.  Demo available now.
   Edit Decision List Processor (EDLP) allows you to create CMX or ISC
format edit lists on your home computer.  It also reads time code, so you
can enter the in and out points while watching the video.  You can also
transfer lists to and from an edit controller's serial port.  Demo available
now.
   Time Code Edit Lister (TCEL) creates an edit list automatically off of an
edited tape.  Just play the tape and TCEL logs the in and out points.  The
list can then be transferred to EDLP or CMX-compatible equipment.
Available Spring 1987.
   Time Code Event Recorder (TCER) allows you to quickly create a list of
time code events and comments, which can then be saved or printed.
Available Summer 1987.
   Time Code Cue Controller (TCCC) allows you to enter a list of time codes
from the keyboard or from TCER which will trigger an external device.
Available Summer 1987.
   Time Code Visual Cue Program allows you to enter six time code cues,
and have each one create a different color visual cue on the monitor
(streamer).  Very easy for non-computer literate people to use.  Available
now.

For the Tandy Model 100
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   Time Code Event Recorder (TCER) allows you to quickly create a list of
time code events and comments, which can then be saved or printed.  It will
be entirely in machine language, and use no extra hardware.  Available
Summer 1987.

Technical Notes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   The time code for the Apple II+ and Apple IIe programs is brought in on
the built-in cassette port.  RCA-type adaptors are supplied.  The program
reads SMPTE longitudinal time code at play speed (+/- 20%) in either
direction.  It is completely frame accurate.
   The time code for the Amiga programs must be brought in to the Time Code
Reader Interface box, which is then connected and powered off the second
(normally unused) mouse port.  The programs are frame accurate at play speed
(+/- 25%) in either direction, but can also read code at from one-third to
three times play speed.
   The time code for the Model 100 is brought into the cassette port, but
the computer is not fast enough to be frame accurate.  Projected
specification is that it will read every third or fourth frame at play speed
in either direction.
   If you would like any of the existing programs to read the time code from
the serial port of any model time code reader (Cipher Digital, for example),
please contact BCS for a quote.  In most cases the charge will be minimal,
and will be completely refunded if it becomes standard on future versions.
