Choose SMPTE Reader from the 
Studio 4 menu to open the SMPTE 
Reader window.

From top to bottom, the SMPTE Reader 
window contains a timecode display, User 
Bits display, Rate display, Format pop-up 
menu and Full Message display. These 
are discussed in the following sections.

This window displays the SMPTE time-
code signal received at the SMPTE IN 
jack on the Studio 4 unless the Studio 4 is 
striping tape; then it displays the SMPTE 
time being striped. It uses the MIDI 
format (MTC/DTL/DTLe) set in the 
Format pop-up menu.

NOTE: The SMPTE Reader cannot distin-
guish between 29.97 non-drop and 30 non-
drop. When the Studio 4 is reading 29.97 
non-drop SMPTE, the SMPTE Reader will 
display the rate as 30 non-drop.

If you choose MTC from the Format pop-
up menu, then any user bits that are 
encoded with the SMPTE timecode are 
displayed in the user bits display. User 
bits cannot be read if you use DTL or 
DTLe as the MIDI synchronization 
format.

For more information about user bits, see 
Chapter 10.

This area displays the SMPTE frame rate 
of the incoming SMPTE signal.
