Settings
All the relevant synchronization settings can be found in the Settings > Show Format & Sync Tab.
Requirements
In order to be synchronized properly VCube requires the following as a minimum :
• A Chase TimeCode Source (Virtual-Transport: Network, Sony 9-pin (P2) protocol or external : LTC, VITC,
MTC)
• A TimeCode Clock Reference (VCube's Video Reference In BNC connector or internal Mykerinos' clock)
• A Clock for audio sampling rate sync. (Internal: Mykerinos, or external: Video, WordClock, or Audio Input)
TimeCode Sources
• LTC (VCube XLR connector) Network (RJ45 Ethernet connection)
• VITC (VCube Video Reference In BNC connector)
• Sony 9 pin protocol (RS-422 serial port). RS-232 on COM1 port is also possible.
• MTC (MIDI TimeCode from a suitable hardware MIDI interface or IP MIDI etc.)
Note: that an Ethernet connection used as a source of TimeCode is also able to feed VCube with
an SD stream from a Video Server simultaneously.
Follow VT
TimeCode Chase, whilst effective, is slow. Follow VT mode enables VCube (and Pyramix) to enable following Vir-
tual Transport. In effect this is a built in Chase Synchronizer for VCube.
