Remote Control Operation
If you haven’t worked with SMPTE/MTC sync before, we suggest you
read the section SMPTE/MIDI Time Code Tutorial before reading this
section just to familiarize yourself with some basic ideas and terminolo-
gy.
SMPTE Setup
The primary screen of the BiPort Remote Control Software gives you
complete control over all the SMPTE sync functions of the interface.
The controls are fairly self-explanatory. Format sets the SMPTE frame
rate for the BiPort SMPTE generator. Flywheel sets the number of frames
the reader/regenerator will automatically advance and correct when
receiving either bad or no time code. Slide the Flywheel slider towards 0
to set “Jam Sync” mode. The Start Writer button starts and stops the
SMPTE writer. The Start Time and User Bits buttons allow you to set,
respectively, SMPTE start time and the outgoing User Bits.
