Synchronization
The Project Synchronization Setup dialog
605
Lock Frames
This setting determines how many full frames of timecode it takes for Cubase to
try and establish sync or “lock”. If you have an external tape transport with a very
short start-up time, try lowering this number to make lock-up even faster. This
option can only be set to multiples of 2.
Drop Out Frames
This setting determines the amount of missed timecode frames it takes for
Cubase to stop. Using LTC recorded on an analog tape machine can result in
some amount of drop outs. Increasing this number allows Cubase to “free-
wheel” over missed frames without stopping. Lowering this number causes
Cubase to stop sooner once the tape machine has stopped.
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.
