SMPTE
SMPTE time codes can be used to trigger automatic playback of scenes, chases, and cues.
The SMPTE trigger originates from an external SMPTE source or the internal SMPTE clock.
The frames per seconds default is 30 frames per seconds.

Using the SMPTE clock
The internal SMPTE clock is used in conjunction with the Teach function to assign SMPTE time
codes and for playback.
To use the internal SMPTE clock to teach SMPTE triggers for playback the SMPTE function must
be turned on. If it is not turned on the system ignores the SMPTE time clock even though it is
running.
