SMPTE LTC Generator

Input Pins

This component does not have any input pins available.

Output Pins

Output

Audio signal pins are represented by a () circle, and traditional wiring is represented by a thin black line. You can use Signal Names on audio signal pins.

By default, the SMPTE LTC Generator component only has one output pin available.

SMPTE LTC Generator Properties

This component has no configurable properties.

Graphic Properties

Label

Use the Label property to change the name of the component in the schematic. The Label property defaults to the component name. To learn more about renaming schematic elements, see Organizing Your Design.

Position

The coordinates reference a specific place in the schematic - for example,"100,100" (horizontal, vertical). 0,0 is the upper left corner of the schematic.

Fill

Sets the fill color of the component in the schematic.

Script Access Properties

Code Name

Displays the currently assign name for control access. You can use the auto-assigned name or customize it. Q-SYS will automatically check all Code Names in the design to ensure name is unique.

Script Access

Defines whether the component will be accessible by script and/or externally, or not at all. Choices include All, External, None (default), and Script.

Tip: Use Script Programmer Mode to quickly view the Script Access setting directly on the component in the design schematic without the need to disconnect from the Q-SYS Core processor.

Hours

Counts the number of elapsed hours and allows for manually entering the hours, from 0-23.

Minutes

Counts the number of elapsed minutes and allows for manually entering the minutes, from 0-59.

Seconds

Counts the number of elapsed seconds and allows for manually entering the seconds, from 0-59.

Frames (fps)

Counts the number of elapsed Frames and allows for manually entering the frames, from 0-29.

Drop Frame

The Drop Frame toggle button enables "drop-frame" mode in which frames are periodically dropped to stay in sync with wall clock time.

Start

Starts the timecode count from the numbers entered, or from zero if nothing has been entered.

Stop

Stops the timecode count. After stopping the count, if the Start button in pressed, the timecode count starts at the numbers originally entered or zero if nothing was entered.

Pause

Pauses the timecode count. When restarted the count resumes at the time it was stopped.

OTWP

The Output Timecode When Paused (OTWP) toggle button causes the timecode, at which the Writer was stopped, to be repeatedly output when the counter is paused.

Pin Name	Value	String	Position	Pins Available
Drop Frame	0 1	disabled enabled	0 1.00	Output
Frames In 1	0 -29	0 - 29	0.00 to 1.00 2	Input/Output
Frames Out 1	0 - 29	0 - 29	0.00 to 1.00 2	Output

Hours Out 1	0 - 23	0 - 23	0.00 to 1.00 2	Output
Minutes In 1	0 - 59	0 - 59	0.00 to 1.00 (0.017 increments)	Input/Output
Minutes Out 1	0 - 59	0 - 59	0.00 to 1.00 (0.017 increments)	Output
Output Timecode When Paused	0 1	disabled enabled	0 1.00	Input/Output
Pause	trigger			Input/Output
Paused	0 1	false true	0 1.00	Output
Seconds In 1	0 - 59	0 - 59	0.00 to 1.00 (0.017 increments)	Input/Output
Seconds Out 1	0 - 59	0 - 59	0.00 to 1.00 (0.017 increments)	Output
Start	trigger			Input/Output
Started	0 1	false true	0 1.00	Output
Stop	trigger			Input/Output
Stopped	0 1	false true	0 1.00	Output
1. Frames, Hours, Minutes, and Seconds each have an "In" control pin for setting the time, and each have "Out" control pins for reading the output of the counter. 2. The increments in the position control depend on the number of frames per second.
