S1C Manual page : 4   :S1C    A guided tour of your highly accurate timecode, genlock generator and multi-channel digital timecode transceiver with integrated WiFi   Timecode Mode. Choose from three settings:  •    INT GEN. Activates the highly accurate internal generator. From here you can set your own T/C, user bits and FPS settings. •    EXT RF (Cont). Constantly jam syncs the internal generator from the received T/C via Buddy DataLink. If Buddy loses signal of received T/C, the T/C output continues using the internal generator. •    EXT LTC. Constantly jam syncs the internal generator from the received T/C via the BNC I/P socket or LEMO 5 socket. If Buddy loses signal of received T/C, the T/C output freezes immediately.    RF Settings. From here select:  •    Channel no. 1 to 14 •    RF TX On/Off. When in Internal or BNC modes the Timecode  can transmit its SMPTE timecode data via Buddy DataLink to any other Timecode Buddy listening on the same channel. •    RX UBits On/Off. When On the unit will display and output the UserBits received via RF. If Off the unit will display and output its own UserBits set.
S1C Manual page : 5     WiFi. Unlocks WiFi enabled features including wireless streaming of timecode to the Timecode Buddy: app     System settings. Gives you access to: •    TV sync type. Set to OFF, PAL, NTSC, 720p, 720px2, 1080i (PSF), 1080p,1080px2 (x2 double frame rate). Non-standard TC Sync standards and FPS combinations will be automatically rejected. •    TV sync level. Set to Std O/P Level for single 75ohm load or High O/P Level for dual 37.5ohm load (2 cameras on T-Piece) •    Restore defaults. To remove any customisation.

S1C Manual page : 8    INDUSTRY CANADA STATEMENTS  This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.  Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.  This radio transmitter  10427A-TCB11 has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.  Name / Model  Gain  Impedance    Taoglas/TG.09.0113  2.0dBi  50 ohm    FCC WARNING STATMENTS  •  This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. •  This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. End users must follow the specific operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. •  Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment  This radio transmitter AYV-TCB11 has been approved by Industry FCC operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.

S1C Manual page : 9   OEM Responsibilities   The Product name here Module has been certified for integration into products only by OEM integrators under the following conditions:   1.  The antenna(s) must be installed such that a minimum separation distance of 20cm is maintained between the radiator (antenna) and all persons at all times. 2.  The transmitter module must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.   As long as the two conditions above are met, further transmitter testing will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.).  IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions can not be met (for certain configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then Industry Canada and FCC certification is no longer considered valid and the IC & FCC Certification Numbers cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate Industry Canada authorization.  End Product Labeling The Product Name here Module is labeled with its own IC and FCC Certification Numbers. If the Certification Numbers are not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module.  In that case, the final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following:    “Contains Transmitter Module IC10427A-TCB11” Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: AYV-TCB11” or   “Contains IC: 10427A-TCB11”  “Contains FCC ID: AYV-TCB11”    The OEM of the Product Name here Module must only use the approved antenna(s) listed above, which have been certified with this module.  The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module or change RF related parameters in the user’s manual of the end product.  The user’s manual for the end product must include the following information in a prominent location:  “To comply with Industry Canada and FCC RF radiation exposure limits for general population, the antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed such that a minimum separation distance of 20cm is maintained between the radiator (antenna) and all persons at all times and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.”
