The Brainstorm SR-112 Plus is a top - notch time code distripalyzer with a built - in time code generator. Widely used in live events, the SR series has become a go - to for show control. The SR - 112 distributes and reshapes time code through 12 outputs, sending clean signals over long distances without degradation. It can analyze the source for quick diagnosis, generate new time code, or repair existing ones, even locking to video if needed. The front panel features a large 8 - digit reader and an LCD display for status and error reporting. It supports all modern SMPTE and EBU SD/HD rates. With the TCG option, it can generate or repair time code. The SR - 112 also comes with a serial port option for remote control. Key features include a 1x12 distributor/reshaper, elimination of level fluctuations, time code analysis, and the ability to generate new time code with or without video reference. Technical specs cover a wide range of details from input/output connectors to power requirements and redundancy features.

Using the Brainstorm SR - 112 Plus is easy. First, connect your time code source to the XLR female input connector. Then, connect your output devices to the appropriate output connectors like DB - 25, XLR male, or 1/4” TRS. You can adjust the output levels through the Output Level menus. If you want to use the time code generator, set the start time, format, and frame rate. You can also genlock it to an external video if required. When it comes to repairs, switch to the REPAIR mode to fix drop - outs and correct video phase. As for the serial port, install the hardware option and use serial commands from your computer to control the TCG. Remember to connect two separate power supplies for redundancy. If one fails, the other will take over. Keep the device in a clean and dry environment. Check the status and warning LEDs regularly to catch any issues early. And don't forget to update the firmware to ensure optimal performance.
