Receiving MIDI Timecode
MIDI timecode input is achieved through the MIDI In connector on the Auxiliary Input panel. This connector passes
signal to a MIDI/USB adapter, and from there into the Mac computer.

Setting Preferences for Timecode Input
The Mbox Remote application is used to set the preferences for incoming timecode. Mbox Remote contains a
Timecode window for this purpose. (To toggle the Timecode window on and off while Mbox Remote is running, press
[
 T] on the keyboard.) The preferences include the source type, output options, auto-start preference, and start/end
time values. The Timecode window also provides buttons for start, stop and resume control.
Refer to "Timecode Window" on page 180 for more detailed information.
Guidelines:
+ Since Mbox Remote can retransmit the timecode data via Ethernet, a timecode source can be connected to one
Mbox server and then sync’d to any other connected servers. The servers must be networked together using a
compatible network setup.
+ When using a timecode input, multiple layers on one Mbox server or layers on multiple servers can respond to the
same timecode, but need not have any other layer properties set the same (except the Timecode Sync playmode,
of course).
