MIDI Time Code / SMPTE
In addition to linking steps of a Stack together through Wait times to create an automated sequence, each step of a
Stack can be assigned a SMPTE time. The Stack will then keep itself in sync with the time code allowing the controller
to perfectly follow a SMPTE synchronized presentation. SMPTE Time Code is input into the controller via the MIDI
ports, therefore the code needs to be converted to MIDI Time Code. The code is broken down into hours, minutes,
seconds and frames. All 4 styles of SMPTE (24, 25, 30 drop and 30 non-drop frame) are recognized.
If time code is input into the controller with no Stack active, each stack, starting with the first, is scanned until one
is found that has time code programmed. The Stack is then automatically activated. This allows a presentation to
start itself without having to load the Stack first. If a Stack is loaded, it will sync with the time code regardless of
whether it is the first Stack to have time code programmed in it. The time code will be displayed above the Fade Time
whenever the main menu is active, verifying that the code is being received and indicating what the current time is.
If the time code is removed or stopped, the Stack will stop at the current step, unless the Real Time Clock feature
is active, in which case the internal time keeping mechanism will keep the Stack running. If the external time code
is again applied, it will take over from the internal time base.
