CLOCKWORKS

Still-frame sensitivity

This option lets you control how many frames in a row

your MOTU interface needs to receive to consider

incoming SMPTE as being parked on a single frame.

While lowering this value makes your MOTU interface

more responsive when you pause your video deck, it is also

more likely to misinterpret ordinary transport shuttling.

So make this value as low as you can, but raise it if you start

getting improper frame locations when shuttling your

deck.

Freewheel _ frames

This option lets you set the number of frames your MOTU

interface will freewheel over when it encounters a time

code drop-out. For a complete explanation of

freewheeling, see “Freewheeling to avoid time code

dropouts” on page 57.

Zero frames (inﬁnite freewheel)

When you choose the 0 frames option, your MOTU

interface begins generating time code on its own,

indeﬁnitely, as soon as it stops receiving incoming time

code. And it will continue to do so until you stop it with

the STRIPE button on the front panel. You can also stop it

by changing the master sync mode or by setting the

Freewheel option to 1 or more frames.

MIDI Machine ID

The MIDI Machine ID option lets you change the MMC

(MIDI Machine Control) device ID of your MOTU

interface. The factory default ID of your MOTU interface

is 19. The only situation in which you really need to change

it is if you are using MIDI Machine Control with two or

more MOTU interfaces. Otherwise, just leave it set to 19,

and make sure that your MMC transport master controller

device or computer software knows that your MOTU

interface’s ID is 19.

If you change your MOTU interface device ID for some

reason, make sure that it does not match the ID of another

device connected to it.
