Timecode Support
MagicQ supports both time code decode and time code generation.
MagicQ MQ70 and MQ100 Pro 2014 consoles have inbuilt support for Timecode. All other MagicQ systems require connection
to an external MagicQ MIDI/Timecode interface.
MagicQ does not support timecode via 3rd party PC MIDI interfaces or through the phone (rca) interfaces on MagicQ consoles.
Cue Stacks can be set up to run Cues according to timecode signals received from external sources via LTC or MIDI timecode.
They can also be set up to use an Internal timecode source which is activated from 0:0:0 when the Cue Stack is activated.
35.1
Timecode Decode
MagicQ supports decode of both linear time code (LTC) and MIDI time code.
Set the Timecode Decode to LTC or MIDI. Timecode Generation should be set to None.
The time-code type can be set to EBU-25, SMPTE30, NTSC30 and Film 24. When a MagicQ MIDI/Timecode module is fitted
the Status Display will show the current time-code being received.
The time-code continue frames is the number of frames to continue internal regeneration of the time-code signal when it is lost.
After this time the time-code will be frozen until a signal is received again.
