Alice LTC Timecode DA – Dual Power Supplies

Alice Timecode DA is a 1U 19-inch longitudinal timecode distribution amplifier designed for facilities that need reliable LTC feeds with built-in power redundancy. It accepts a single timecode source and fans it out to up to twelve independently buffered outputs, ideal for feeding cameras, recorders, vision mixers, automation systems and studio clocks from one master generator.

This dual power supply version of the Alice Timecode DA uses wide-band, low-noise circuitry and adjustable gain to maintain clean, decodable timecode over long cable runs while adding two fully independent mains inputs. A rear DB9 connector provides status monitoring so external alarm or control systems can supervise both mains feeds and timecode presence, helping engineers spot faults quickly.

• Twelve LTC outputs. The Alice Timecode DA provides up to twelve outputs arranged as two banks of six, each driven from a balanced input with adjustable gain range.
• Dual mains power supplies. Two separate AC inputs with internal redundancy keep timecode distribution running even if one mains feed or supply fails.
• Status monitoring output. A rear DB9 connector reports power and timecode events for integration with facility monitoring or GPIO alarm systems.
• Flexible connector options. Versions with XLR, BNC or mixed I/O let the Alice Timecode DA drop into existing cabling without adapters.
• Precisely adjustable levels. Front-panel multi-turn trimmers on each output bank allow up to 20 dB of gain or 10 dB of attenuation for matching destination requirements.
• Broadcast-ready performance. Wide 20 Hz–20 kHz response with low distortion and noise ensures solid LTC decoding in broadcast, post-production and OB environments.

For engineers who need dependable timecode distribution with added protection against mains failures, the dual-supply Alice Timecode DA offers a compact, rack-ready solution that keeps critical LTC feeds alive during power disturbances.

As alternatives to the Alice Timecode DA, consider the Alice timecode distribution amplifier where single-supply operation is sufficient, or the DEVA DB7012 DAB/DAB+ monitoring receiver when you also need confidence monitoring tied to timecode-based logging.
