One thing I can tell you is that the MT's use 10 pulse per frame biphase on the encoder inputs.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Froes Film Handler Posts: 26 From: phoenix az USA Registered: Aug 2010 posted 05-24-2011 03:42 PM                     Thanks Tony. I've downloaded the manual from the werehouse here but that's all they really talk about it on the manual 10 pulse per frame 20 pulse per revolution. i'm trying to interlock this with the cinesync on my kem flatbed.  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 05-26-2011 04:51 PM                     OK, here's the pinout to connect the encoders to the MT2000 Series: (Pin/Function/Wire color for Belden 8723) A/COMMON/BLACK B/+5vdc/RED C/no connection D/"A" Phase/WHITE E/"B" Phase/GREEN F/no connection H/GROUND/SHIELD The connector is an Amphenol 126-197. You can use a well-regulated 5vdc power supply externally if you want (I prefer to, I don't trust the 5vdc supply in the dubber) by connecting the encoders (+) to the external supply (DO NOT connect Pin B to the dubber) and the external supply (-) connects to the encoder AND Pin A on the dubber. The cable that links adjacent dubbers/transports to each other is a shielded, 6 conductor cable which is Pin-to-Pin using pins A, B, C, D, E, F with the shield connected to pin H at BOTH ends. I will someday soon get the schematics copied and sent to Brad to add to the manual in the Warehouse.  |  IP: Logged
