Slave HD to SMPTE
Hi guys, I need a tip.
I just got a scoring gig in, and they are going to send me the whole "VHS w/ SMPTE on one track/dialogue on the other" deal. The pre-pro has been done in ProTools, so that has to be my platform. I have a Unitor 8, and i can't seem to make the Unitor 8 convert the incoming SMPTE to MTC and route it to PT. No way. I had the same problem last time and i had to switch to Logic, which instantly slaved to SMPTE w/ the exact same set-up. I don't need to be sample accurate, it's not that kind of a crazy deal, I just need Protools to start when the code shows-up, that's it, drift is ok, these are super short cues. Any ideas on how to make my set-up behave? Any idea on a cheap fix maybe? Unitor manual is useless and so is eMagic's tech support. Here. for you entertainment, I pasted their answer to a three paragraphs super detailed email with description of all test procedures and set-ups I had tried before I emailed them: "It should work, Thanks, your Emagic Online Support Team" I love those guys. Ciao, Fab |

Re: Slave HD to SMPTE
i have an old MOTU pocket express and it will sync with smpte but it takes around 14 seconds....be patient....although this, sucks ass...
i am assuming you have the Unitor setup properly in the periphrial's menu....generic reader.... do you have a way to use midi timecode? if you do, PT will lock up very fast with that...no conversion to smpte i assume if i think of anything else that will help i will post again best of luck john
