I have been working with a transcriber to figure out how what hardware she can use to read the LTC timecode on a stereo track.

We are using the Zoom H4 recorder in the field recieving TC from cam.

Anyone knows what products would work for this?

Here is one product I’m trying to research:

The device is called Easy Reader. Don’t see a model number. Their website is at: https://www.timecode.com/easyreader.html
There’s a picture of the device on their website. Per the webstie: It’s a miniature LTC time code reader with RS-232 interface. Ideal for notebook or laptop computer applications. Operates on a 9V DC battery. Software included in DOS-logging, EDL, programming examples and more. Also included are two HOT-KEY programs which add time code/ user bits to either DOS or Windows applications.

FEATURES:
1. SMPTE/EBU Longitudinal Time Code Reader
2. Operates in 24, 25, 30, Drop and Non Drop Frame
3. RCA connector for time code input
4. 9 pin connector with 2.5′ cable for RS-232 input/output
5. Connects to any RS-232 serial port (IBM, MAC, AMIGA, etc)
6. 9V battery powered (Approximately 25 hours)
7. Weighs 6oz.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks
