Company and Products Overview

AEC manufactures and distributes professional SMPTE / NTSC and EBU / PAL time code reading and generating devices, VTR control and interface products and video switching equipment. Our newest products are the models of the 'PCIe-TC' product family. These are PCI express time code cards, much like our prior PCI-TC products. Our 'AEC-uBOX-2' continues to do well with the computer based video capture market. This unit is replacing our older AEC-BOX-2 and AEC-BOX-1 models. Developed as  a great way for Apple Final Cut Pro users to get a live time code signal into their system while also capturing a live SDI signal. We have supported this feature with the older model also, and it has been used with Avid, Apple and other similar type systems to allow for live time code capture. Our USB-TC family of time code readers includes LTC, VITC and IRIG time codes plus Line21 reader. We specialize in time code devices with reading and generating capability for PC computers, controller-to-vtr interfaces with protocol translation and/or time code functions, and compact routing switchers with 10x1 and 10x2 configurations. This web site, "www.adrielec.com", is the place to find the LTC / VITC time code reader / generator cards for the PC (personal computer) with comparator and translator features and VTR / VCR remote control interface devices catalog and product information for all Adrienne Electronics products. The catalog includes serial to parallel and Sony to Ampex VTR protocol translators in the AEC-BOX family. AEC manufactures electronic products for the television industry.

The PCI-21, PCI-LTC, PCI-VITC and PCI-VLTC product families are PCI computer boards that add various time code reading and generating, closed caption and XDS reading and On-Screen-Display abilities to a PC.  We also have ISA models that have the same time code reading and generating features. Many of our customers use these boards in off/on-line closed captioning systems, master control automation timing referenced to the master time code clock, character generation (CG) automation and for time code analysis. One of the standard features of our time code reader boards is the ability to keep a PC's clock matched to a time code signal that is being read. This allows the computer clock to be locked to a satellite feed or other master reference with a time error of less that a few frames at any given time.  

AEC's interface products allow parallel remote controlled Video Tape Recorders such as Sony's VO-5800 and VO-5850 Umatic, JVC BR-S611u and BR-S811u and Panasonic AG-7500A and AG-7510 SVHS to interface with edit controllers and computers using the Sony "P2" RS-422 professional serial machine control protocol. Also, The AEC-BOX-50 allows Sony protocol control of AMPEX VPR-3, VPR-6, VPR-80 and VPR-300 tape machines that run the AMPEX machine control protocol. Some other products in this family allow tape or live logging of a video signal by such logging software as the AVID Media Log or the live capture of time code into software/hardware such as the Apple Final Cut Pro, Premier and similar systems.

We have been exhibiting at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) convention in Las Vegas for many years. Come see us at NAB 2009 (April) at our booth in the South-Lower hall. The NAB web site can be found at "http://www.nab.org"

A Short History

Adrienne Electronics Corporation (AEC) was established in March 1986. From the humble beginnings in the basement of a house in Northern California, we have grown substantially. We operated from the Grass Valley/Nevada City area in California until December 1993 when the company moved its entire operation to Las Vegas for competitive reasons. AEC now offers a wide range of products for the television and computer related video industries. Since we do very little advertising, most of our business comes from referrals and repeat sales. We specialize in providing fast, friendly, and knowledgeable service to our customers. Our products are reliable and built with pride. As the years go by and technologies change, we work very hard to retain these characteristics.

Our founder/owner, Bruce E. Waggoner, attended Rice University and Stanford University, graduating in 1979 with a Masters of Science degree in Electrical Engineering. In his career he has worked on a wide variety of projects such as IC design, microcomputer hardware and software design, power supply design, solar energy applications, automation of homes, and audio/video machine control, time codes, switching, distribution and compression. He is an Eagle Scout, French Horn tooter, youth soccer coach and a member of IEEE and Phi Beta Kappa.

Our President, Tracey S. Ruesch, joined the company in 1995 as our Technical Sales and Support engineer. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from Brigham Young University in 1991 and his MBA in 2008. He is also an Eagle Scout. When not at the office, he keeps busy with a myriad of church, scouting and family activities.

Our normal hours of operation are 8:00am to 4:30pm Pacific Time, Monday - Friday. If you need to contact us at other times send a fax, call our phone number and leave a message of send an email message. See contact information below.
