Hello,

I'm looking for a compatible device to work with my logic pro 9 so it can sync to my Tascam TSR-8.

i need something that will stripe smpte onto tape, then read and convert Smpte into MTC for DAW and Tape Sync.

Originally used by the military for rocket launches, SMPTE time code is a standardized way of referencing the 24-hour period. Based around the video frame, the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers identify frames and sub frames with a unique identifier that includes hours, minutes, seconds, frames and sub frames.

hows it going,
basically i have my dishnetwork dvr digital output lightpipe which is smpte and i want to go into my motu828mk2 ADAT in.But i get nothing but high pitch static on all channels in cuemix.Then i found out that the dvr was smpte code and the MOTU is ADAT and not compatible.

Heres the scenario: I am trying to transfer 8 tracks of analog (one with SMPTE) into my computer using a SMPTE to MTC (JL Cooper) box into a Midi to USB cable (sync) through a pair of nice converters. This forces me to dump tracks two at a time and line them up by hand in PT.

Wondering, why dont sequencers and the like have buit in SMPTE decoders. Steinberg products in this case. I would suppose having a SMPTE setup option where you define which audio input channel is recieving SMPTE. The decoding happens within the DAW.

that aside, which is the cheapest SMPTE - MTC stand alone converter in the market ?

thanks

hi all, my english is not so good, sorry

i need an interface that can convert the MTC (generated via midi from Pro Tools) to SMPTE (recived by my Tascam tm-d4000).
which kind of converter i must buy?

thanks in advance

Quick question. (damn, I'm full of alliteration today)

My Ghost desk reads SMPTE and can automate mutes for a mix. A have used this feature before when tracking to tape in order to both sync the computer and do the mutes. I suddenly thought: why couldn't I strip code to a track in the computer when not hotting tape, and fire the mute automation with that?
