2.9.2 MMC
MIDI Machine Control (MMC) is part of the MIDI protocol. It defines special
messages for controlling audio equipment such as multi-track recorders. The
CueCore2 supports the sending of MMC commands; please refer to page 94.
2.9.3 MSC
MIDI Show Control (MSC) is an extension of the MIDI protocol. It comprises
of commands for synchronising show equipment like lighting, video and audio
devices. The CueCore2 supports receiving MSC commands. This support is
hard coded and does not require any Show Control programming. Please refer
to appendix D.4.
2.10 SMPTE
SMPTE is timecode signal which can be used to synchronise audio, video, light-
ing and other show equipment. The CueCore2 supports receiving SMPTE that
is transferred as an audio signal, also know as LTC timecode.
The CueCore2 only supports receiving timecode. If a timecode generator is
required then the Visual Productions' TimeCore is recommended as shown in
figure 2.4.
2.11 NTP
Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a networking protocol for clock synchronisa-
tion between computer systems over networks.
The real-time clock (RTC) in the CueCore2 can be synchronised to an ex-
ternal time server using the NTP protocol.
2.12 DHCP
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a standardised network
protocol used on Internet Protocol (IP) networks for dynamically distributing
network configuration parameters, such as IP addresses.
