Generating Timecode Internally
The SMPTE command can be used to start, stop, reset and set the current timecode using the CueServer's
internal timer. When generating timecode internally, events in CueServer's timecode event list will be
triggered at the specified times.
Use the SMPTE Clear command to reset the current timecode to zero (00:00:00:00).
Use the SMPTE Start command to start internal generation of timecode. The current timecode will begin
incrementing at 30fps. Any timecode events in the system will trigger when the timecode reaches their
marks.
Use the SMPTE Stop command to stop internal generation of timecode. The current timecode will freeze at
the current time.
Use the SMPTE command to set the current timecode to a specific time. A timecode string such as
can be given. Additionally, a shorter string can be used, which will be padded with zeros
"01:00:04:29"
on the left-side. For example, specifying a timecode of
Furthermore, a frame number can be given, such as 50, which will be interpreted as the 20th frame of the
first second ("00:00:01:20").
Use the SMPTE ± command to increment or decrement the current frame by the specified number of
frames. For instance, the command

the audio input, any timecode events in the system will trigger when the timecode reaches their marks.
