Video chasing time code
-
You can use lockstep to convert ltc to MTC, it is 20 bucks. From there you can check position of the movie and sync it to MTC

hallo.
is there a version for the win world too?
or is it another way which is only for apple users.
if someone knows a reliable mtc generator software for win, please tell us.thx

Do you need to start with ltc? You can generate mtc from most daws. There are also a lot of hardware ltc to mtc boxes like this http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=161765936478&globalID=EBAY-AU&alt=web

Thanks for the info.
I tested all this a while back and I for found that the MTC Movie locker didn't run the video at full speed. The video was a little stepped and audio stopped outputting. If I take Izzy out of chase mode video looks fine and audio is present.Still useable for non critical video. -
Here's the setup.

Also, It's not 100% chasing. If I drag LTC around the video never chases. It's more of a time code triggering start and stop.
It's still a good and useable tool, though. -
Now that the movie player can run in a time code is this the best practice for locking to time code?
MTC Reader - Timecode Calculator - Movie Player (timecode mode/ 0 play speed) position - Contrast Adjust - user actor with 5 projectors with several izzy mapped sections.
I am unfortunately experiencing frequent crashes when jumping around in rehearsal
1 movie HAP 3840x1600 - 5 projectors

hi Cristopher (not by accident Christopher from Qlab?) What is the main timecode source? Is the frame rate the same as the video framerate?Cheers, Barney

@barneybroomer Apologies for the delay. I had my notifications set incorrectly. Time code source is Midi Time Code from Qlab. The system is disassembled now, but I believe we were matching appropriately.
