34 Timecode Support
MagicQ supports both time code receive and time code transmit.
Cue Stacks can be set up to run Cues according to timecode signals received from External sources via
SMPTE 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.
34.1 Timecode Receive
MagicQ supports receipt of both linear time code and MIDI time code.
Enable timecode receive in the Timecode In Type field, and choose between SMPTE and MIDI
Timecode.
The time-code type can be set to EBU-25, SMPTE30, NTSC30 and Film 24. When a ChamSys
MIDI/SMPTE module is fitted the Status Display will show the current time-code being received from the
module.
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.
