GMT-u
is a 1 ppm low-power LTC
generator for SD or HD cameras, audio
recorders and digi-slates.
• GMT-u is momentarily initialized from
an ASCII master-clock or from an Audio
LTC source, whatever its normalized
frame rate.
Permanently installed on a video camera,
its (internally adjustable) line-level LTC-out is
recorded on an audio track of the camera;
this bonds the record-run Video-TC of the
camera to the free-run Audio-TC which is
also running in the other machines on the
set. During image digitization, the NLE
will read the Audio-TC and «autosync»
in a while, press [#]. OriginC displays
'good' 'fair' 'bad' or 'diff-time', followed
by the amount of drift in frame tenths.
To LTC init a machine with SMPTE LTC,
simultaneously press [#] [0].
To get or check LTC generated by a IVS-
TC, Fostex PD6, etc. or to simply read an
external LTC timecode, press [*] [2].
