	SMPTE time code - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		SMPTE timecode is a set of cooperating standards to label individual frames of video or film with a timecode defined by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers in the SMPTE 12M specification.
		In general, SMPTE timecode frame rate information is implicit, known from the rate of arrival of the timecode from the medium, or other metadata encoded in the medium.
		SMPTE timecodes are often time code not specified by SMPTE.

	Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers or SMPTE, (IPA pronunciation: [sɪmpti] and sometimes [sʌmpti]), founded in 1916 as the Society of Motion Picture Engineers or SMPE, is an international professional association, based in the United States of America, of engineers working in the motion imaging industries.
		SMPTE standards documents are copyrighted and may be purchased from the SMPTE website, or other distributors of technical standards.
		SMPTE's educational and professional development activities include technical presentations at regular meetings of its local Sections, annual and biennial conferences in the US and Australia and the SMPTE Journal.

		The SMPTE color bars are a type of test pattern image, and is most commonly used in countries where the A-Z Index is dominant, such as in vectorscope.
		The components of this pattern are a known info, so comparing this pattern as received to that known standard gives video engineers an indication how an NTSC video Main Page has been altered by recording or transmission, and thus what compensation needs to be applied to that signal to bring it back to original condition.
		In an SMPTE magenta bar Non-Linear Editors, the top two-thirds of the television picture contain seven vertical bars of 75% intensity.

	SMPTE
		SMPTE time code is a method of marking tape with a continous readout of time.
		SMPTE code is recorded on one of the audio tracks of a tape recorder.
		SMPTE code is really a modulated tone-- a decoder circuit can convert this tone into data: there is an 80 bit word for each frame.

	Cakewalk - Synching Cakewalk To SMPTE
		This is a device that not only produces the signal (that's what SMPTE is, an analog signal) but "reads" it in and converts it to the MIDI equivalent known as MIDI Time Code or MTC for short.
		An optimal level to record the SMPTE signal is approximately -3db to 0db.
		Once we start the tape machine playing the SMPTE is sent to the generator/reader which will do the conversion and in turn, send the signal to the computer for use by the sequencing software.

	SMPTE TIME CODE
		When they wrote the specifications for SMPTE time code, they made it possible for all manufacturers to use the same techniques for reading and writing time codes so that everybody's tape and equipment would work together.
		SMPTE time code is a digital signal whose ones and zeroes assign a number to every frame of video, representing hours, minutes, seconds, frames, and some additional user/specified information such as tape number.
		For this reason, SMPTE time code allows you to choose whether you want time to be correct (but with some of the numbers skipped), or have a sequential number for every video frame (but not have the numbers accurately tell you the length of your show).

	Cakewalk - Synchronization
		SMPTE is usually used to synchronize tape decks and other devices.
		If the Trace option can not read the SMPTE stripe, it may indicate that the stripe was not recorded properly, so double-check the record levels and cable connections to the tape deck.
		The SMPTE clock decides that 1 second has elapsed after it has counted a certain number of video frames, while the sound card clock decides that 1 second has elapsed after it has played several thousand audio samples.

	SMPTE AND VITC TIME CODE EXPLAINED (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		SMPTE is an acronym for: the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers.
		SMPTE time code is a timing standard used to "mark" audio tapes, films and video with a continuous timing signal throughout the course of your audio tape or video.
		For example, SMPTE time code, recorded either on one track of a multi track sound recording or in between the pictures of a video, can tell the composer or sound engineer exactly WHERE you are, in time, since the start of the music or video.

	SMPTE Requests Feedback on Proposed Change
		SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) is requesting feedback regarding changes to the SMPTE 299M-1997 embedded audio standard, "24-Bit Digital Audio Format for 292M Bit-Serial Interface"; SMPTE 299M is currently undergoing revision within the N26 Technology Committe and a change has been proposed that may affect compatibility of existing devices.
		The current 299M standard does not support at least one format currently defined for the 292M interface, and the proposed change is a solution to solve the incompatibility with this video format and other formats that may be defined for the 292M interface in the future.
		According to SMPTE, in the current 299M standard, the audio clock phase field is limited to 12 bits, or 4,096 video-sample clock periods, meaning that the current standard is incompatible with video formats with a total line length greater than 4,096 sample clock periods.

		Be that as it may, SMPTE time codes count 30 of these frames and deem that to make a second.
		It is worth noting that in neither case is the SMPTE time-code an accurate clock; in the first case, it runs slow, and in the second, the adjustments are abrupt and periodic - and still not quite accurate.
		In some cases, the Singer Expires June 11, 2007 [Page 5] Internet-Draft RTP SMPTE Time-codes December 2006 color frame flag (bit 11) is used to 'extend' the tens of frames field from 2 to 3 bits; however, such practices are outside the scope of this specification.

	SMPTE or Video Synchronization with Microsync
		When enabled in the Microeditor Sync Defaults command, it provides a highly stable yet continuously varying sampling clock that is synchronized to either the Video or SMPTE signal.
		Microsync synchronizes and follows SMPTE timecode so fast it totally eliminates wow and flutter from sounds originating on an unstable analog or video tape drive striped with timecode.
		The locking accuracy of Microsync to track a varying SMPTE or Video signal is unequalled.

	SMPTE and other Time Codes
		A desire to do some stereo panning, filtering, signal processing, or some such activity to the sound while it is being recorded to your tape deck; if this was occurring on more than one track, it might require multiple passes.
		SMPTE time code, otherwise known as LTC (Longitudinal Time Code), has been commonly used to synchronize tape decks and lots of other audio and video equipment for the past 20 years or so.
		SMPTE Time Code is time stamped, so no matter where you start on the tape, devices which are locked to SMPTE will jump to the correct point in time.

	Smpte
		Like I already stated, the SMPTE track (I will define this in a moment) gives you absolute time in order to sync a sequencer, this means that you will be able to slave a sequencer to this, making it possible to record from a sequence multiple times.
		SMPTE time code numbers looks like this: 01:05:25:05 The set of numbers (01) on the left represent hours.
		At this point, the SMPTE stripe is playing 'into' the SMPTE reader and telling the sequencer to stay on time while the sequencer is putting out midi data to drive your module(s) which are sending out audio data into the soundcard in to the multitrack.

	V-Series MIDI Interfaces: SMPTE - Using the V-24S SMPTE feature in DOP
		SMPTE vs. MTC: -------------- SMPTE was made a standard by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers for synchronization of audio and video.
		It's called "Drop" because the actual frame rate is approximately 29.97fps, so SMPTE counts to 30 frames and "drops" a frame every 10 seconds to compensate for the "extra".03 frames per second.
		Since SMPTE is basically noise (to human ears anyway) it can disrupt the sound quality of the adjacent tracks if the sound of the SMPTE track bleeds onto them.

		When you record a song, you are a storing the relationship between SMPTE and the tempo of the song (the clock/sync tone/click track) from the tape recorder into the memory of the SBX-80.
		This is accomplished by first recorinding SMPTE timecode at -3 on semi-pro recorders (where 0 equals -10db) and at -10 on a pro recorder.
		Then by using the SMPTE offset feature (this feature allows the device to be delayed), delay the device untill it isn’t ¼ note early anymore.
