Using the Horita VLR - 100 is quite straightforward. First, connect your device to the appropriate ports. When you want to read time codes, you can use the front - panel switches to select between VITC and LTC, or put it in 'auto' mode. If you're in 'auto' mode, it'll use VITC as a backup when reading LTC. You can easily adjust the brightness of the LED display to your liking. When using the LTC generator, just select the drop frame or non - drop frame LTC output as needed. As for the display, it clearly shows hours, minutes, seconds, and frames, so you can keep track of time accurately. Regarding maintenance, keep the device in a clean and dry place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If there's any dust on the device, you can gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
