Event Time; Ltc Timecode - NewTek TriCaster Mini User Manual

(Otherwise, for example, a video frame recorded one minute before midnight would
be assigned the timecode 23:59:59.00, while frames recorded one minute or more
later would have timecode ≥ 01:00:00.00 – seemingly a lower (i.e., ordinarily earlier)
timecode value.)

8.4.2 EVENT TIME

Two more switches, under the label Indicate Event Time, allow you to configure Start
and End times for your upcoming show. Beside each of these is an editable time field.
Enable the Start/End switches, and click inside the field to modify the time value by
direct entry, or drag left right to raise or lower the current value.
During live production, the Dashboard and as well as TriCaster's monitor panes and
default Multiview layouts (Figure 149) offer Broadcast Clock displays based on the
current timecode. Secondary clock displays show a useful countdown to the
(production) Start and End times when the corresponding switches are enabled in
the Timecode Configuration panel.

8.4.3 LTC TIMECODE

Linear timecode is by far the most common method
of sharing an external timecode reference in video
production.
Output from an external timecode generator is
supplied to devices in the video pipeline using a
standard audio connection. TriCaster uses either
FIGURE 150
Audio Input 7 or 3 for this purpose (see Section
3.7), depending on the model (as mentioned previously, TriCaster 410, Mini SDI, and
Mini do not support this feature).
