Depending on the stability of the incoming
time code, it may take a few seconds for your
interface to lock to the time code. The more stable
the incoming time code, the faster the lock-up
time.
SMPTE time code (LTC) settings
There are several settings for the time code features
in your MOTU interface. In the web app, go to the
Device tab (page 14) and scroll to the LTC Setup
section, shown below.
Figure 4-5: Settings for SMPTE time code sync.
LTC Input Source
Choose the input on your interface that is receiving
the time code (LTC). Any input can be used,
including an analog or digital input.
Computer Channel for LTC-to-MTC Conversion
Choose a computer channel that you aren’t using
for anything else here. It will be used to transmit
LTC from the interface to the computer. If all of
your computer channels are being used, you can
add extra channels using the
To computer
setting in
the Routing tab. See “LTC-to-MTC conversion” on
page 51 for further info about LTC-to-MTC
conversion.
LTC Format
Choose the frame format that matches the
incoming time code.
Enable Format Autodetect
If you would like your MOTU interface to
automatically detect the frame format of the
incoming time code, check this box.
Enable Jam Sync
When this option is checked, your MOTU interface
will continue to convert LTC to MTC even after
incoming time code stops being received. Once
Jam Sync kicks in, it will continue generating until
you click Stop Jam Sync.
