<text>Many sequencers and drum machines generate and read their own FSK (Frequency Shift Keying) signal for synchronization.• • •In the same way that SMPTE is recorded on tape, FSK is recorded. Some computers will generate a sync-to-tape FSK signal.• • •FSK is not as advanced as SMPTE since it depends on the very first clock to start the sync and then each subsequent clock is used only as a timing offset from the first. This means that everytime you overdub, you must rewind the tape and start from the beginning of the signal, picking FSK up in the middle will not automatically sync any otherdevices (like SMPTE).• • •Most high end electronic music devices and computers offer SMPTE as synchronization since it is simply the best sync available today.</text>

<text>To make SMPTE work for you, you need three basic elements:- SMPTE Reader- SMPTE Writer- SMPTE Synchronizer• • •These three devices may be a configuration of one integrated product or up to three separate units.• • •Many editors (human) prefer to have the SMPTE time appear on the screen superimposed over the video. A device called a Window Dubber, Inserter, or Video Character Generator reads code and will either superimpose the numbers on the screen without affecting the picture on tape, or it will burn the characters onto the source video tape.• • •In order to synchronize MIDI instruments to audio or video, you need a synchronizer: A unit that reads SMPTE and can convert it into another format used to control a sequencer, drum machine, arpeggiator, computer, etc.• • •</text>

<text>Jam-Sync is a feature that some SMPTE generators offer.• • •Jam-Sync can be used with VITC or LTC but is an essential feature of a VITC generator and therefore mostly used with VITC.• • •VITC can not be pre-striped the way LTC can. because it is inserted in the vertical interval, it must be recorded as the video material is recorded.• • •This presents a problem when editing from a source machine to the edit master machine, since new code must be recorded on the master along with the video.• • •When it comes to be edit time, new code must be recorded on the master in such a way that there will be uninterrupted, continuous code.ex. If the code at the end of the last edit was 03:15:05:09 then the new edit will need to begin at 03:15:05:10.• • •The result is a master tape that has continuous time code without interruption from beginning to end.</text>

<text>The smallest increment of the SMPTE language is the 'bit'.• • •SMPTE uses 80 bits per frame in LTC and 90 bits per frame in VITC.• • •These bits can tell the appropriate machine a great deal of information including:- Frame start/stop- Direction of tape travel- Information on color for editors- Reel number- Recording date- etc.• • •VITC does everything that LTC does plus more by using 90 bits per frame!VITC offers:- Increased accuracy- CRC (Cyclic Redundancy) error checking• • •Since VITC can not be recorded on the audio track, LTC must be used when syncing two or more audio recorders or audio and video recorders with SMPTE.• • •The most sophisticated audio/video applications using multitrack audio and video use both VITC and LTC to produce the finished product most efficiently.</text>

<text>There are two types of SMPTE Time Code, Longitudinal (LTC) and Vertical Interval (VITC), (pronounced 'Vit-see').• • •LTC is recorded on the audio track of video or audio tape.• • •VITC is recorded in the blank space between frames on video tape.• • •Audio applications primarily use Longitudinal code, while video will use either, and often both Longitudinal and Vertical Interval simultaneously.• • •VITC has the advantage of being readable by the appropriate equipment even when VTRs are in 'freeze-frame' or are operating at very slow speeds.• • •In very slow or fast speed modes, LTC sometimes can not be read because changes in playback speed change the pitch/frequency of LTC. And, of course, LTC is no good at all unless it is passing by the heads, so it is unusable in freeze-frame situations.• • •SMPTE can operate at different ratesdepending upon a number of factors.- 25 frames per second- 29.97 frames per second- 30 frames per second- 30 drop frames per second• • •30 drop frames per second allows SMPTE originally recorded at 29.97 frames per second (American B&W TV) to be compatible with the new standard of 30 frames per second (American Color TV). Every hour, 108 frames are eliminated in drop frame time code._________________________________• SMPTE FACT #2 •Most of the world uses SMPTE at 25 frames per second.</text>

<text>• • •| SMPTE |• • •(pronounced 'Semp-tee'),is an audio signal that is based on a universal concept of hours, minutes, and seconds.• • •SMPTE is used by musicians, film scorers, and other professionals and amateurs who demand accurate synchronization techniques for audio and/or video.• • •SMPTE is a time code that can be 'striped' on audio or video tape and provides a reference in HOURS:MINUTES:SECONDS:FRAMES:FIELDS:BITSfor use in synchronizing sound to video. • • •Each frame of a SMPTE striped tape has its own specific identity number. That frame can be located precisely time and time again by machines that read Time Code.• • •SMPTE works much better than other popular synchronization techniques due to it's fast and accurate search & lock up time._________________________________• SMPTE FACT #1 •SMPTE was adapted as a standard by the Society of Motion Picture & Television Engineers in 1969.</text>
