7.5.1 Time Code Network Technics
Time Code synchronization can be used to recall the programs of one or more
controllers simultaneously to a recorded music.
SMPTE and EBU Time Code are digitally coded time informations, which for
example can be recorded to a separate track of a tape machine. The frequency
domain covers 1 to 2 kHz. Usually this Time Code will be recorded when
preparing the music for a presentation, but it can also be added afterwards by
any sound studio. When using stereo sound it is necessary to have at least a
third track on the machine, for preparing a Time Code show .
During playback of the tape the Time Code signals are sent to all connected
controllers. Each device has stored in memory, which program has to be
recalled at which time.
The Time Code input at the Scancommander is on the 1/4" jack at the
backpanel.

7.5 SMPTE TIME CODE
Complete shows can be synchronized via Time Code. The Scancommander
works with 24 to 30 frames per second. Selecting the right frame number will
be done automatically as soon as a Time Code signal is supplied or can be
selected manually.
