What it does

The TimeCore module brings a Visual Productions TimeCore into Companion, so buttons and triggers can show and react to incoming timecode.

How to set it up

  1. Add the Visual Productions TimeCore connection in Companion and point it at the device.
  2. Show variables such as $(…:tc_smpte) or tc_mtc on buttons for a timecode readout.
  3. Use the Receiving feedbacks to flag when the timecode source drops.
  4. Use actions to start, stop or set internal timecode and timers.
