By default just:out uses the NTP (= network time protocol) of the local machine 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 using the LTCin of an AJA device – or the audio input of the Mac. Supported AJA devices for this purpose are:
- LHi
- Kona3(G)
- Kona 4(G)
- Io XT
- Io 4K
When reading timecode information from an external LTC source, the current day must still be grabbed from the local machine. Make sure that those two timecode sources do not drift a lot, otherwise the wrong date information could be used after the restart of an engine, leading to unexpected results.
Configuring the AJA Control Panel
These windows may look different and can offer other variations in functionality depending on the hardware and OS you are using.
Input SelectAttach an LTC signal to the LTCin of your AJA device or the audio input of your Mac. | |
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.
