The Project Synchronization Setup dialog
Cubase’s Project Synchronization Setup dialog provides a central place to
configure a complex synchronized system. In addition to settings for timecode
sources, project setup parameters are available along with basic transport controls
for testing the system.
To open the Project Synchronization Setup dialog, proceed as follows:
• On the Transport menu, select the “Project Synchronization Setup…” option.
• On the Transport panel, [Ctrl]/[Command]-click the Sync button.
The dialog is organized into sections separating related groups of settings. The
arrows shown between the various sections of the dialog indicate how settings in
one section influence settings in another section. In the following, the available
sections are described in detail.
The Cubase Section
At the center of the Project Synchronization Setup dialog is the Cubase section. It
is provided to help you visualize the role that Cubase takes in your setup. It shows
which external signals enter or leave the application.
Timecode Source
The Timecode Source setting determines whether Cubase is acting as timecode
master or slave.
When set to “Internal Timecode”, Cubase is the timecode master, generating all
position references for any other device in the system. The other options are for
external timecode sources. Selecting any of these, makes Cubase a timecode slave
when the Sync button is activated.
Internal Timecode
Cubase generates timecode based on the project timeline and project setup
settings. The timecode will follow the format specified in the Project Setup
section.
