Getting Time Code Into The 960L; Smpte-To-Midi Time Code Conversion - Lexicon 960L Owner's Manual Addendum

960L
GETTING TIME CODE INTO THE
960L
To take advantage of automation, MIDI
time code must be received on the MIDI IN
connector located on the 960L rear panel.
Because the 960L operates as a slave only, it
does not generate its own time code. Instead,
MIDI time code must be generated externally.
In systems that have the ability to generate
MIDI time code, connect the time code source
directly to the 960L MIDI IN connector.

SMPTE-TO-MIDI TIME CODE
CONVERSION
Depending on the system, a SMPTE-to-MIDI
converter may be necessary for operation. If
the system is based on linear SMPTE time
code, a SMPTE-to-MIDI converter must be
used as shown in Figure 5 (below). Refer to
the converter owner's manual for specific
installation and operating instructions.
Lexicon does not recommend a specific SMPTE-
to-MIDI converter, as any converter should
work. Converters that were used in product
development include the Midiman Syncman,
Digidesign SMPTE Slave Driver and Universal
Slave Driver, the Mark of the Unicorn MIDI
Timepiece AV, and Opcode Studio 4.
