VST System Link
Sets VST System Link as timecode source. This allows for all aspects of sample-
accurate synchronization between different computers that are connected via VST
System Link.
NOTE
Discrepancies between the Project Frame Rate and the incoming timecode can cause problems
during postproduction, even if Cubase is able to lock to that timecode.
MIDI Timecode Settings
The MIDI Timecode Settings become available if you activate MIDI Timecode as a Timecode
Source.
MTC Input
Allows you to select the MIDI input ports. To allow Cubase to synchronize to MIDI
timecode from any MIDI connection, select All MIDI Inputs.
Timecode Source Preferences
If you activate MIDI Timecode as a Timecode Source, you can set up Timecode Source
Preferences for working with external timecode. The following options are available:
Lock Frames
Determines how many full frames of timecode it takes for Cubase to lock, that is,
establish synchronization.
NOTE
If you have an external tape transport with a very short start-up time, set Lock Frames
to a low value to make lock-up even faster.
Drop Out Frames
Sets the number of timecode frames that must be missed until Cubase stops. Using
LTC on an analog tape machine can increase the number of drop outs.
Inhibit Restart ms
Some synchronizers still transmit MTC for a short period after an external tapemachine
has been stopped. These extra frames of timecode sometimes cause Cubase to restart
suddenly.
Inhibit Restart ms allows you to control the amount of time in milliseconds
that Cubase waits before restart (ignoring incoming MTC) once it has stopped.
Auto-Detect Frame Rate Changes
Noties you about frame rate or timecode changes and interrupts playback or
recording. Activate this if you want to diagnose problems with timecode and external
devices.
Transport Start/Stop
Starts/Stops playback in Cubase.
