- 6 - SMPTE TIMECODE
The SMPTE timecode is a signal which contains a time identication in the hours:minutes:seconds frame
format; it was invented in the cinematographic industry to synchronise audio and video and is ideal for
solving general synchronisation problems.
The console is capable of receiving a SMPTE signal generated by a SMPTE master (the device which
stores the reference clock for synchronisation) and activating certain events at predened times.
Buttons:

Play:

time and potentially activated.
