RESOLVING PRO TOOLS TO TIME CODE
To resolve your Pro Tools system directly to
SMPTE time code with no additional synchroni-
zation devices, use the setup shown in “Syncing to
SMPTE timecode” on page 33.
1 Connect an LTC signal to the 828x time code
input (or other analog input).
2 In MOTU SMPTE Setup, go to the SMPTE
Source menu and choose the SMPTE input (or
other analog input that is receiving the time code).
3 In MOTU SMPTE Setup, go to the Clock Source
menu and choose SMPTE/SMPTE as the clock
source.
4 Make the other settings in MOTU SMPTE Setup
as desired. Refer to their sections in this chapter for
more information.
5 In Pro Tools, choose Peripherals from the Setup
menu and click the Synchronization tab.
6 Choose the 828x Sync Port from the MTC
Reader Port menu.
RESOLVING OTHER HOSTS TO TIME CODE
The 828x has the ability to convert incoming
SMPTE time code (LTC) to MIDI Time Code and
send it to your host audio software, which can
resolve to it. To do so, use the setup shown in
“Syncing to SMPTE timecode” on page 33. Here is
the basic procedure:
1 Connect an LTC signal to the 828x time code
input (or other analog input).
2 In MOTU SMPTE Setup, go to the SMPTE
Source menu and choose the SMPTE input (or
other analog input that is receiving the time code).
3 In MOTU SMPTE Setup, go to the Clock Source
menu and choose SMPTE/SMPTE as the clock
source.
4 Make the other settings in SMPTE Setup as
desired. Refer to their sections in this chapter for
more information.
5 In your host audio software, make the necessary
settings for resolving it to MIDI Time Code. Refer
to your host audio software documentation for
further information. The 828x driver provides a
separate MIDI Sync Port for the time code, so
when you specify the MIDI port to follow, be sure
to choose the Sync Port.
