Chapter 16:
MIDI Timecode

Catalyst Media Servers can receive MIDI timecode and a Layer’s playback can
synchronize to the timecode.

Connecting MIDI Timecode Devices

Many aftermarket companies manufacture USB to MIDI devices for use with the
PowerMac computer. Typically these devices consist of a USB connector on one end and a
number of MIDI connections on the other. Contact High End Systems technical support
for recommended USB to MIDI devices.

Connect the MIDI device’s USB plug to the USB port on the PowerMac computer.

Assign the MIDI Device

Click on the

Device

field of the

Midi Time Code Input

panel in the Catalyst Control

window. Click on the installed MIDI device to select it.

Synchronizing a Layer with MIDI Timecode

Assign the

Play Mode

parameter of a Layer to a DMX value of 100(Sync to MTC 0hr) to

read the current frame from the MIDI device. The Layers content will playback according
to the values of the MIDI timecode. Additional

Play Mode

values synchronize to different

times. For example, a

Play Mode

parameter value of 101 synchronizes to MTC 1hr and a

value of 102 to 2hr.
