MOTU SMPTE Console

CHAPTER 12
OVERVIEW
The Traveler-mk3 can resolve directly to SMPTE
time code via any analog input, without a separate
synchronizer. The Traveler-mk3 can also generate
Longitudinal Time Code (LTC) to any analog
output. Whenever time code is running, the
Traveler-mk3 can also transmit MIDI Time Code
(MTC) to host software running on the computer.
The Traveler-mk3 provides a DSP-driven phase-
lock engine with sophisticated filtering that
provides fast lockup times and sub-frame
accuracy. Direct time code synchronization is
supported by AudioDesk and Digital Performer on
Mac OS X.
Figure 12-1: SMPTE Setup gives you access to your Traveler-mk3's on-board SMPTE time code synchronization features.
The Reader section provides settings for
resolving to SMPTE time code.

MOTU SMPTE SETUP

The included MOTU SMPTE Setup™ software
provides a complete set of tools to generate SMPTE
for striping, regenerating or slaving other devices
to the computer.

CLOCK/ADDRESS

The Clock/Address menu (Figure 12-1) provides
the same global Clock Source setting as in MOTU
Audio Setup ("Clock Source" on page 39), but it
includes additional information: each setting
shows both the clock and the address (time code or
sample location), separated by a forward slash ( / ).
To resolve the Traveler-mk3 to SMPTE time code,
The Generator section provides settings
for striping SMPTE time code.
