Setup MTC

  1. First connect your MTC source to the MIDI input on your hardware.  

  2. From the main transport editor, create a new timecodetransport object and select the type TimecodeTransportMtc.

  3. Make sure to press the engage ​button to enable the timeline to slave to the incoming MTC. 

Adjust

This option lets you add a delay to the incoming clock signal. This is useful for adjusting for front-of-house delay in different stage situations. The number, measured in seconds, is added to the time value received; so a negative number will delay the visuals relative to the audio.
