Chase SMPTE (LTC) with Motu 2408mk 3 or 828mk3
Hi All,
Just trying to find out if Pro Tools 9 will chase the SMPTE (LTC) Timecode input on a Motu 2408mk3 or 828mk3. I understand that the Motu interfaces will take incoming LTC and convert it to MTC resolved to Word Clock or Video Ref. Thanks! |

Same question here, but on the Mk3 Ultralite... timecode works great with this in Logic 9. Really hoping PT 9 would read it the same way.

Knowing Avid/Digi, they put in an artificial limitation that makes this not work unless you buy a pricey expansion, but I hope I'm wrong!

GOOD NEWS!!! Loaded up PT 9 LE with the Complete toolkit that I already had. Loaded the newest MOTU driver which you have to do in order to be compatible with PT9... generated TC from a Sync I/O into a MOTU Ultralite mk3. After changing a few settings, PT is now chasing timecode. You just have to go into the Motu SMPTE setup application, which I believe is part of the driver setup anyway, (in Mac Applications Folder) selected SMPTE source analog input 1 which is where I input the TC cable into the Ultralite, selected SMPTE/SMPTE clock address on the setup, and the TC started playing in that window. When I went to PT and hit the sync button... instant lock! I'm VERY happy!!!!

No. Pro Tools without CPT will chase MTC. You just need something like the MOTU hardware that converts analog LTC (SMPTE) to MTC.
