Getting your first timecode out

From installation to a console following the DJ, with no detour.

1. 01Plug in and check the decks appearOne cable between the machine and the booth switch. Switch to the Grid view (F5): the decks must show up with their waveforms. If nothing appears, the Windows firewall is the first suspect.
2. 02Arm a slot on "the master"Timecode view (F1), first slot, source "the master". The output will follow the DJ automatically when they hand over from one deck to another.
3. 03Pick the receiver’s frame rate25 frames per second in Europe, 29.97 in NTSC territory. Take the one the console expects, not the one in the video file.
4. 04Pick the outputLTC on a sound card output: name the device, the channel, and set the level. It is audio, it cables like a line.
5. 05Check on the receiverThe console must show a timecode that advances. Pitch the deck: the timecode must speed up with it. That is the proof the chain is good end to end.
6. 06Stop the deck to see the freezePause the source deck. The counter must freeze and show its reason. That is the expected behaviour: it never switches on its own.
