SMPTE Conversion
One of the main functions of the Sync Daughter Card is to convert SMPTE (LTC) to
MIDI Time Code (MTC) and vice-versa. The term "Host MTC" refers to MTC, which is
generated or used by the host application (Cubase, etc.). MTC is also available at the
MIDI jack on the back of the Sync Card.
• Conversion of SMPTE to MTC quarter-frame messages & full-frame
messages.
Constant quarter-frame messages are generated with steady SMPTE data input.
Occasional MIDI full-frame messages are generated when SMPTE contains data
dropouts.
• Conversion of MTC (quarter frame & full frame) messages from the
host computer to SMPTE out.
Simultaneous SMPTE and MTC output when receiving MTC from the host computer
• Outputs SMPTE and MTC striping data.
SMPTE Start Time and type can be set via System Settings dialog box.
SMPTE Options
When the Sync Daughter Card is installed in your system a SMPTE button in the
PatchMix DSP mixer becomes visible. Pressing the SMPTE button brings up the SMPTE
window.
