SYNCING TO SMPTE TIME CODE

The UltraLite-mk3 system can resolve directly to

SMPTE time code. It can also generate time code,

under its own clock or while slaving to time code.

Therefore, the UltraLite-mk3 can act both as an

audio interface and as a SMPTE time code

synchronizer to which you can slave other devices.

You can use the UltraLite-mk3 to slave your audio

software to time code as well, as long as your

software supports sample-accurate sync, which is

the means by which the software follows the

UltraLite-mk3. The accuracy may not be sample-

accurate, but in most cases it will be very close.

Mac running AudioDesk,

Digital Performer or other sample-

accurate software.

Figure 12-3: Connections for synchronizing the UltraLite-mk3 directly to SMPTE time code.

First, choose SMPTE as the clock source

in AudioDesk, Digital Performer, or

MOTU Audio Setup. This setting can

also be made in the MOTU SMPTE

Console (shown below).

Launch the MOTU SMPTE Console to specify the time code frame rate and amount

of freewheel. Also, conﬁrm that the Clock Source/Address is SMPTE/SMPTE.

In AudioDesk or Digital Performer:

1. Choose Receive Sync from the Setup menu.

2. Choose the Sample-accurate option. (If this

option is grayed out, choose SMPTE as the

clock source setting ﬁrst, as shown above.)

3. Make sure that Slave to External Sync mode

is enabled.

Use this setup if you have:

✓ A SMPTE time code source, such as a multitrack tape deck.

✓

An UltraLite-mk3 by itself, OR with another slaved device

(such as a digital mixer).

✓ Host software that supports sample-accurate sync.

This setup provides:

✓ Continuous sync to SMPTE time code.

✓ Sub-frame timing accuracy.

✓ Transport control from the SMPTE time code source.
