SYNC to SMPTE

[Mr_P]

what do you mean 'embedded timecode'?

usually you would be syncing to external timecode via sound port (or midi)

can you explain?
do you mean sync to timecode on a clip you are playing in catalyst??

Yes the clips are striped with timecode.

Apparently they are being played back on some unknown media server by timecode!

We would just use that but we have 3 HD projectors so using 3 catalysts as we have live input on HDi and multiple layers so being a little nervous about glitching.


Other wise I would just use a time code list on the MA to control it - easier than trying to do maths to work out frame values!

So to be clear...

The clips have timecode built in (25fps SMPTE)

The timecode source is a pro tools system. (i think)

Input will be on Mac audio input (left channel!)

Thanks again for your help Simon.
