GHOST Appendix A A.3

TTiimmeeccooddee SSuuppppoorrtt

The console will display the last timecode value sent by the tape machine. This

means that, for some machines, when you rewind the tape the displayed timecode

will be that at which the tape was stopped. This will be displayed until the tape is

played again, at which point the display will update to the new value being sent.

To cope with tape dropout the SMPTE reader 'flywheels' for ten frames after

which the timecode stops.

CCoonnttrrooll BBuuttttoonn SSuuppppoorrtt

To provide feedback to the console transport control buttons the tape machine

should support 'tally' messages (i.e., feedback from the tape machine of its status).

If this is not provided the console tries to interpret any timecode being sent to

produce these 'tally' messages internally.

MMIIDDII TTiimmeeccooddee MMaasstteerr

The Ghost uses its own internal clock as a timecode reference for mixing. It also

sends out MIDI timecode. This mode would normally be used with sequencers

which can chase to MTC.

TTrraannssppoorrtt CCoonnttrroollss

MMIIDDII TTiimmeeccooddee SSllaavvee

The Automation slaves to incoming MIDI Timecode. The transport buttons on the

console indicate whether timecode is running, stopped etc. The console transport

controls have no effect on the tape machine.

TTrraannssppoorrtt CCoonnttrroollss

Display only, by using timecode values returned by the tape machine.

SSeettuupp NNootteess
