Inhibit Restart ms
Some synchronizers still transmit MTC for a short period after an external tape
machine has been stopped. These extra frames of timecode sometimes cause
Cubase to restart suddenly. The “Inhibit Restart ms” setting allows you to
control the amount of time in milliseconds that Cubase will wait to restart
(ignoring incoming MTC) once it has stopped.
Auto-Detect Frame-Rate Changes
Cubase can notify the user when the frame rate of timecode changes at any
point. This is helpful in diagnosing problems with timecode and external
devices. This notification will interrupt playback or recording. Deactivating this
option will avoid any interruption in playback or recording.
IMPORTANT
If there is a discrepancy between the project frame rate in Cubase and
incoming timecode, Cubase might still be able to lock to the incoming
timecode. If the user is unaware of these differences, problems can arise later
in postproduction.
MIDI Timecode Destinations
Cubase can send MTC to any MIDI port. Use this section to specify the MIDI ports
to which MTC is routed. Devices that can lock to MTC will chase Cubase’s
timecode position.
NOTE
Some MIDI interfaces send MTC over all ports by default. If this is the case, only
select one port of the interface for MTC.
MIDI Timecode Follows Project Time
Activate this option to ensure that the MTC output follows Cubase’s time
position at all times including looping, locating, or jumping while playing. If not,
MTC will continue on without changing locations at a loop or jump point until
playback stops.
