Getting MTC out with no MIDI interface
A virtual MIDI port is enough to join WinShow to a workstation on the same machine.

- 02Create a port and name itGive it a name you will recognise —
WinShow TC, for instance. WinShow names ports by their name, so a clear one will save you hunting. - 03Arm a slot on MTCIn the Timecode view, pick the source, the frame rate, then MTC as the transport, and select the port you just created.
- 04Listen to the port on the receiverIn your workstation or cue software, set the MTC input to the same port and switch it to slave.
