Version 2.4

Timecode shows can execute events and move faders to a timed recording or at specific points in time based on a running time counter. This running time counter can be an internal timecode from the session master or an external timecode source.

The timecode show is organized into Tracks inside a Track Group.

Timecode shows are stored in the Timecode pool.

A slot can be connected to an SMPTE audio timecode, MIDI timecode, and Art-Net timecode input to allow an external source to control the running time. The slots can also generate a running time that can be used to run a timecode show. The Clock Viewer can show the time of a timecode slot. Learn more in the Timecode Slots topic.

The Clock Viewer shows the time. It can be the system time, the time of a timezone, the timer of a timer, or timecode slot.

The viewer can also be in a setup mode where the events can be added, edited, and deleted. The viewer can be a window in a view or a temporary pop-up.

A good way to operate timecodes is to have a screen setup with a timecode pool, a timecode slots pool, and a timecode viewer opened:
