Connecting a SMPTE time code destination
Connect the SMPTE OUT port of your MOTU MIDI
interface to the SMPTE time code input of any
destination
device that accepts SMPTE time code as shown in
Figure 2-6. For example, time code can be recorded on an
outside track of a multitrack tape recorder so that
everything can subsequently be synchronized to the
multitrack. Other examples of a SMPTE time code
destination are systems that have the ability to slave to
SMPTE time code, such as stand-alone hard disk
recording systems, digital audio workstations, or
automated mixing consoles.
