Enabling SMPTE input
Before you can run SMPTE programs driven by an external SMPTE time
source, you must enable the SMPTE port. To enable the SMPTE port,
follow these steps.
When the console detects SMPTE data, it will automatically run the
SMPTE program. If external data is not detected, and the internal clock is
disabled, the message Waiting for input appears above the SMPTE list.
To run the SMPTE program, start the flow of external SMPTE data.
Setting SMPTE frame rate
The SMPTE frame rate may be set to 24, 25 or 30 frames per second. 30
