LEGACY CLKTCD12 - Time Code Driven Clock – Masterclock

The CLKTCD12 was a timecode-driven clock (IRIG-B, SMPTE, EBU) in a 12-inch format. This model has been retired. For new timecode installations of a similar size, Daylight bv recommends the current TCDS range (TCDS24, TCDS26 or TCDS44) as a direct replacement, depending on your exact viewing distance and digit-size requirements.

  • Complete flexibility in daylight saving time and time zone configurations
  • Front indicator light provides synchronization status
  • Microprocessor-controlled stepper motor with sweeping second hand for quiet operation
  • Battery-backed real time clock chip in case of loss of syncronization or power
Time Code Inputs
  • SMPTE (30/25/25 fps - non-drop frame only) to Leitch Date Encoding Standard
  • IRIG-B pulse width coded (unmodulated) DC, IEEE 1344 standard
  • IRIG-B(1) 1 kHz Amplitude Modulated, IEEE 1344 standard

Frequently asked questions

Is the CLKTCD12 still available?

No, retired. For timecode-driven clocks in a similar size, refer to the TCDS range: TCDS24 (5.8 cm) or TCDS44 (10.2 cm) depending on your viewing distance.

What is a good replacement?

For a one-to-one replacement in an existing installation, consult Daylight bv to determine the right TCDS variant based on colour, viewing distance and case-shape requirements.

What if the CLKTCD12 still works?

A working unit can stay in service. In case of failure: contact Daylight bv for diagnosis and replacement advice.

Why order from Daylight bv rather than directly from Masterclock?

Daylight bv has been the authorised Masterclock distributor since 2014. You get invoicing in EUR with Belgian VAT, local support in Dutch, French or English, on-site service by prior arrangement and no complications with customs or US imports.
