Timecode Nodes
 | Timecode Converter | This node converts e.g. MIDI timecode to a common timecode format and provides its components. |
 | Timecode Event | This node receives timecode and fires events at user-defined points in time. |
 | Timecode OSC | Receives OSC embedded timecode. |
 | Timecode LTC LineIn | Receives LTC timecode. |
 | Timecode MIDI | Receives Midi Time Code (MTC). |
Timecode Converter
The Timecode Converter node takes a timecode and splits it into its components Hour, Minute, Second, Frame and Field. These values are provided as output properties. The current timecode in TotalSeconds is provides as well. It is also possible to add an Offset value to the incoming timecode. The resulting timecode is available via the output property TimecodeNew. If the incoming timecode is changing every frame, the TimecodeDirection property says if time is running forward or backward.
Timecode Event
The Timecode Event node provides the possibility to fire events on specific timecodes or cue points. These user-defined points in time can be added via the Custom Model dialog (click Edit Custom Model button in the Property Editor). Each of the user-defined timecodes gets a corresponding event which is fired if the specified timecode is reached. The Accuracy input property specifies how close the reference timecode (Timecode) must be to the user-defined points in time, to trigger the corresponding event. This is necessary if the reference timecode and the Ventuz configured timecode have different formats: e.g. 29.97 Drop Frame and 30.00. In this case the timecodes cannot be mapped exactly on each other.
Timecode OSC
The OSC Timecode node extracts the time-stamp of OSC messages and provides it in a Ventuz timecode format. The OSC specific input properties are described in the OSC Nodes section. The Timebase property specifies in which format the received OSC time-stamp is displayed:
| Local Time | Timecode is based on the time of the local machine. |
| UTC | Timecode is based on the Coordinated Universal Time. |
| Zero | Timecode represents the zero-based number of seconds. |
Timecode LTC
The LTC Timecode node receives Longitudinal Timecode which is encoded in audio data.
The property Ordinal specifies the device which should provide the audio data.
Timecode MIDI
The MIDI Timecode node receives timecode from a MIDI device.
The property DeviceID specifies the device which should provide the MIDI data.
