Time code can be triggered from an external SMPTE time code source using the optional ChamSys
MIDI/SMPTE module, or it can run from the internal time code source. To control a Cue Stack using
external time code set the “External time code” option in the Cue Stack options.
Cues can be set to time code by changing the Halt field in the Cue Stack window (double click on it or
press SHIFT + ENTER.
When a Cue Stack that contains time code cues is activated the time code takes control of the Cue Stack
and each Cue executes at the time code specified. For Internally generated time code, activating the Cue
Stack starts the time code at 0/0/0. For external time code the time code will be read from the external
module.
