The log time code control
Click to log the current time code. One entry is logged for each click. To use the
keyboard rather than the mouse to log time codes, the [CTRL] will act as a hotkey when the log
control has focus. Alternatively a regular hotkey may be configured - this hotkey works regardless of
focus, (but only if the log control is open).
Click to clear the current batch of logs (the total number of logs is shown below
the log button).
Click to add the logged time code to the end of the cue list - new lines are
automatically created.
Click to insert the logged time codes above the selected line in the cue list -
new lines are automatically created.
Click to apply the logged time codes to the highlighted lines in the cue list (the
first log is applied to the highlighted line with the lowest number). Use this method when re-logging
time codes rather than editing them manually.
Start Elapsed - only selectable when Elapsed PC Time has been selected as source on the cue list
Control. Click to restart the elapsed clock timer.
Enable Cue Logging - when this button is enabled, each time a cue is loaded (from the list of cues, via
the 2532, MIDI or DMX-in or via hotkeys) the cue number is logged together with the time code. Note
that logging will only occur if the log control is open. When the logs are assigned to the list, the
logged cues are applied as well.
Preferences Menu
Auto-Insert Empty Lines - automatically inserts an extra empty line after each time code when the
logs are assigned to the cue list.
Auto-Clear Logs - logs are automatically cleared after add, insert or apply.

MIDI/SMPTE time code
MIDI Time code may be used as a trigging source for the cue list. Basically MIDI Time code (MTC) is
SMPTE time code embedded in the MIDI protocol and should not be confused with MIDI Clock, MIDI
Tempo or MIDI song pointers (which are not supported by LightJockey). To interface LightJockey to an
MTC source, either use a MIDI interface and connect to a source transmitting regular MIDI time code,
or for SMPTE sources, an interface that converts SMPTE to MTC (see reference below).
Note that LightJockey only supports time code transmitted by quarter frame time code, not time code
transmitted by MIDI SysEx Messages.
