MOTU SMPTE CONSOLE

The 828x cannot freewheel address without clock.
Therefore, the Freewheel Address setting will always
be lower than or equal to the Freewheel Clock
setting, and both menus will update as needed,
depending on what you choose.
The ‘Infinite’ freewheel setting
The Infinite freewheel setting in the Freewheel
Clock menu causes the 828x to freewheel
indefinitely, until it receives readable time code
again. To make it stop, click the Stop Freewheeling
button.
Stop Freewheeling
The Stop Freewheeling button stops the system if it
is currently freewheeling.
GENERATOR SECTION
The Generator section (on the right-hand side of
the window in Figure 10-1) provides settings for
generating SMPTE time code.
Level
Turn the level knob to adjust the volume of the
SMPTE time code being generated by the 828x.
The level knob disappears when the Destination is
set to None.
Tach light
The Tach light blinks once per second when the
828x is generating SMPTE time code.
Destination
In the Destination menu, choose either SMPTE (to
generate time code) or None (to turn it off).
Stripe
Click this button to start or stop time code. To set
the start time, click directly on the SMPTE time
code display in the Generator section and type in
the desired start time. Or drag vertically on the
numbers.
Figure 10-2: Setting the time code start time.
Regenerate
This option, when enabled, causes the generator to
generate time code whenever the 828x is receiving
SMPTE time code.
SETTING UP FOR SMPTE TIME CODE SYNC
To set up direct SMPTE time code synchroni-
zation, see “Syncing to SMPTE timecode” on
page 31.
RESOLVING CUBASE OR NUENDO TO TIME
CODE
To resolve your 828x and Cubase or Nuendo
directly to SMPTE time code with no additional
synchronization devices, use the setup shown in
“Syncing to SMPTE timecode” on page 31. Make
sure the Clock Source setting in the MOTU Audio
Console window is set to SMPTE. Also, make sure
that you’ve connected an LTC input signal to an
828x analog input, and that you’ve specified that
input in the SMPTE Source menu in SMPTE
Console.
Click here to edit
the start time, or
drag vertically on
the numbers.
