Your SMPTE source could just as easily come from any line-level analog input, a digital input, or
from a file being played on a channel from your Host DAW. All are fair game depending on your
particular workflow.
To Host (required):
Immediately below the “Source” selector, select a “To Host” route to send the
SMPTE channel to the Host computer so the Session engine can record it to your drives.
Generally, this should be “Pre Insert” selection, but should you need to perform level correction or
filtering on the SMPTE stream, “Post Insert” is always available.
Direct Out (optional):
The Input strip Direct Outs can be used to relay your SMPTE feed (and any
other audio, of course) to a backup recorder (perhaps another computer via SCP USB), broadcast
truck (say, copper or optical MADI), etc.
Solo and Mute (optional):
Solo and Mute can be handy for checking your SMPTE feed and verifying
levels during setup. Engaging ‘Mute’ provides an obvious visual cue that the SMPTE stream is not
getting out to any audio buses.
Record Enable (optional):
Establishing the SMPTE “To Host“ route and assigning it as the “SMPTE
LTC source channel” in the Session (detailed below) are the only steps required for Timecode Trig-
ger Mode operation. However, if you wish to record your incoming SMPTE timecode stream as a
reference along with your audio program, click “Record Enable“ to arm recording SMPTE (“Record
Enable” = red).
Scribble Strip (optional, but necessary in practice):
The “Scribble Strip” name is always entered in the
recorded filename, so it is a good idea to include ‘SMPTE’ and the frame rate in the Scribble Strip
for identification purposes.
Session: SMPTE Timecode Trigger assignment:
Once you have your SMPTE input strip set up, go to the Session and click the Time Display “Time-
code” readout to reveal the “SMPTE Source” selector.
You can also open this selector from the Session Hamburger Menu “Set SMPTE LTC Source Chan-
nel...” item.

Clicking on the selection name (or “None”, if unassigned) will open a list of all Mixer Input strips with
“To Host” routes to the Session (below). The “SMPTE LTC Source” selection lists the strip names
with the original source port for each strip shown in parentheses. Select your SMPTE Mixer strip
from the list to assign it.
