code signals, including URS time code, are published to the multiviewer’s GSM, and

Notes
In XEdit, for a Kaleido-MX, the LTC text is available under the input cards and
the URS time code is available under the output cards.
The text value shows the hours, minutes, and seconds, but not the frame
count, which implies that, in the case of a count-down LTC, you cannot see
the last second of the countdown (i.e. the last 30 frames). The text “--:--:--”
means that the time code source is unavailable.
