Audio Synchronisation :
AES/EBU or S/PDIF
Other Synchronisation :
Time code received via SMPTE LTC (L), SMPTE VITC (V), or MIDI time code
(M).
About Syncing to SMPTE Time Code in the Studio work space :
The current studio setup can resolve directly to SMPTE time code. It Can
also generate time code and word clock, under its own clock or while slaving
to time code. Therefore, it can act both as an audio interface and digital
audio synchronizer to which I can slave other digital audio devices. I
can use the main sound interface in the studio to slave audio softwares
to SMPTE as well. The said software tools can support sample accurate
sync.
Main features :
Continuous Sync to SMPTE time Code.
Sub-Frame sync to SMPTE Time Code.
Transport control from the SMPTE time code source.
Syncing to Video and/Or SMPTE time code
About Quicktime Format :
Quicktime is probably one of the most handiest standard in such perspective
: Any of your video ceation can be converted and saved as a Quicktime
file. The said Quicktime movie can be then imported in most of the sound
design and scoring softwares. As scores I will compose will relie on samplers,
outboard synthesizers, or live recordings etc, the final project will
be mixed and mastered to a digital audio file format such as WAV, AIFF,
or SDII. The audio files will be imported as a soundtrack into the QuickTime
movie and compressed using a variety of algorithms. The final results
can be posted on the internet or saved on a CD-rom. In case your original
video creation has been saved as a DVD format, some DVD players (IE the
Koss Silver portable DVD Player) can output the SMPTE time code. The instruments
in the studio can all be synced with the SMPTE clock.
