By default just:out can receive the reference time from the NTP uses the NTP (= network time protocol) of the local machine but also from an as the master timecode source. Because NTP is more or less accurate we recommend to use a stable LTC source as master timecode.
just:out can receive the timecode from an external LTC timecode generator generator using the LTCin of an AJA device or – or the audio in or input of the Mac. Before such a signal can be used by just:out, the hardware must be configured to be able to receive the LTC signal.

Input SelectBy default just:out uses the NTP (= network time protocol) of the local machine as the master timecode source. Because the NTP is more or less accurate we recommend to use a stable LTC source as master timecode. To synchronize your master timecode to a LTC source you can attach a LTC Attach an LTC signal to the LTCin of your AJA device or the audio input of your Mac. Supported AJA devices for this purpose are: LHi | ||
TimecodeDepending on your video device you have to configure the LTC/Ref setting in the Input Select configuration (KonaLHi) or the Input setting in the Timecode configuration (Kona3(4)G and IO device) like shown in this screenshot. | ||
| Make sure that the incoming LTC signal is shown in the AJA control panel. |
Configuring the Sound Preference Pane
When using the audio input of the Mac you can see if the signal is being received in the Sound preference pane.
