2. Configure your trigger device to send MIDI timecode (MTC) to your computer.
3. Configure Vegas Pro to receive MTC:

b. From the Input device drop-down list, choose the port from which you will receive MTC.
c. From the Frame rate drop-down list, choose the frame rate that your trigger device will use
to send MTC to Vegas Pro.
