VariVue®
TBC Remote Control Panel
Online Instruction Sheets: Sony or Panasonic
The VariVue® TBC remote control panel provides the essential proc amp controls for several Sony and Panasonic VTR models with internal time base correctors. The TBC controls, non-existent on some machines, can now be within convenient reach of the operator in the edit suite. Many VTR models accept the VariVue® control panel, including the BetaCam and M II series, VHS and 8mm models, 1" formats, and the newer digital machines.
The VariVue® control panel is available in either desktop or rack-mount configurations.

Desktop Unit
The slope-front desktop unit occupies only 4"x4" of desk space; it controls one TBC. Two 19" rack-mount versions are available, with either single or dual TBC control.
The VariVue® control panel includes four knobs for direct control of the Video Level, Set-up, Chroma Level, and Hue. Each control has an "IN/OUT" switch to allow selective adjustment of each parameter. Additional trimmer controls provide H Sync, SubCarrier, and Y/C delay (for Sony only) adjustments. The VariVue® control panel plugs into the15-pin "TBC Remote" connector located on the rear panel of the VTR.

Note: On older machines, there is limited control over the analog component outputs and no control over digital outputs. On newer machines, the analog and digital video outputs are fully controllable, though some machines have no control over the digital Hue output.
