: General information :
S.M.P.T.E. is an acronym than stands for Society of Motion Picture Television Engineers.This group created a clock or time based standard first used in television for synchronizing video tape machines for editing purposes. Today S.M.P.T.E. time code is used for a variety of different synchronizing purposes including audio, MIDI, video & film. By comparing S.M.P.T.E tracks on two different machines a synchronizer can Lock or synchronize the two machines. This is done by establishing a Master machine whose timing is imposed on a Slave machine by the synchronizer.

“One of those dull bits of gear you need to lock machines and sync to Midi. Luckily, I don’t need to do that any more:)”
