ETC Response SMPTE Setup Manual

ETC Setup Guide
Response SMPTE Gateway

Overview

The Response SMPTE Gateway allows you to receive a SMPTE control signal from an external source and
then pass it through to your lighting network or console, providing a simple way to synchronize other
systems with your lighting control. The SMPTE signal is generated by the controlling device and transmitted
to the SMPTE Gateway. The gateway acts as a receiver in a SMPTE system.
There is a backpack and rack-mounted version of the SMPTE gateway.
