Synchronization 362
Time Code
S6L provides a set of synchronization features that allow automation and remote control of snapshot and triggering of external de-
vices when snapshots are recalled via SMPTE MIDI Time Code (MTC) or Linear Time Code (LTC).
Automating Recall of Snapshots with Time Code
You can automate the recall of snapshots with MTC and LTC. The VENUE system can trigger snapshots with internally generated
MTC, or it can read incoming MTC or LTC from an external source.
Generating MIDI Time Code
You can set the VENUE system to generate MTC and automate the recall of snapshots based on MTC playback.
To generate MTC from the VENUE system:
1 On the external VENUE software screen, go to Options > Snapshots.
2 Enable Config mode.
3 Under Time Code, select MTC.
4 Select Generate. MTC generator (MTC GEN) controls appear in the banner display at the bottom of the screen.
5 Choose the MTC Frame Rate from the Frame Rate pop-up menu (24 fps, 25 fps, 30 fps drop, or 30 fps non-drop).
6 If you want MTC playback to start at a different time than the currently displayed time, enter a start time in the Start Time field,
and press Enter.
The custom start time is stored in the Show file.
7 Control MTC playback from the MTC generator controls by doing any of the following:
• Start MTC playback by selecting the Play button.
• Pause MTC playback by selecting the Pause button.
• Stop MTC playback and reset to the Start Time by selecting the Stop button.
For a diagram showing LTC and MTC ports, see
S6L Control Surface Connections.
