Offsetting incoming timecode?

[gpeddino]

I've been working with the MTC actors and I noticed that MTC Movie Locker receives timecode automatically, with no need of an input from MTC Reader. But the thing is, I find myself having to offset slightly the incoming TC so it will match the sync between two different systems (Ableton sending MTC, Isadora receiving it and keeping a video file in sync).

I do the offset by moving the TC file in Ableton, but it seems far from ideal. Is there a way of offsetting the incoming value within Isadora? Am i doing something wrong here?

Hi 

There may be other ways to do this more elegantly and no doubt greater minds will arrive in.

 I have done similar but only within Isadora but the principle should be the same.

I have used the TC Caclulator to offset the incoming TC by subtracting/adding by the requisite value and then send that updated TC value to your next step.

I did this internally to offset a constantly changing start point for a timecode video....!!!

Hope this helps!?
