1.11. "SMPTE TEST" Icon
This menu allows TO TEST the performance and the signal level for the
SMPTE time code reference.
The SMPTE signal is usually distributed by the general audio management
system in order to give a common timing base to synchronize all
equipments.
The SYSTEM FIREMASTER IV is provided with a dedicated decoder
receiving this signal and using it to synchronize all firing activities with the
common time reference.
The SMPTE/EBU time code must be of LTC type (Lateral Time Code).
With no SMPTE input signal, the mask will show as follows:
When a valid SMPTE code is applied to the front-panel input and the RUN
key pressed, the system will start to decode the incoming signal and the
mask will display the “SYNCHRONIZED” message along with the type of
SMPTE decoded (24, 25, 30 fps, drop or no-drop). The counter will start
immediately to display the actual time code received (hours, minutes,
seconds, frames/second):
