MIDI Time Code OUT

Hi All,

Is it possible that Congo can send MIDI Time Code (there is MIDI OUT out socket in Congo) ?

Theatre who owns Congo asked the question. They have a PC with movies to play during the show. They want to press [GO] on Congo to change Preset in Sequence and start movie on PC (they have a checked system to do that).

If it is possible, please write how to enable it ;-)

Seems that Time Code should be send continuously in order to play movie (25fps).

Thanks for any ideas and have a nice day!

  • Hi Adam,

     

    But how would that work??

    MTC is a clock that just runs. The only way it could work is that a certain step in the sequence started the clock and then the sequence has to be prorammed with MTC to run with it. Make sense?

    I think it would be easier to start each film with a Midi command.

    What program do they want to control??

     

    Cheers

    Hi Bullen,

    Thanks to Anders and Your posts I think to solve it by MIDI Commands. I am in a point I don’t know two things:

    1. Does the hardware configuration will do that MIDI Commands from Congo will be received on PC:
    Congo MIDI Out > M-Audio Uno* > USB > PC > Software?
    * maybe should be different interface?

    2. For now I don’t know any Software that could read MIDI commands from Congo.

    Yesterday there was a Guy with Video Player software on Mac, that allows to send/receive MIDI Time Code (M-Audio Midisport 2x2 was used). But today theatre gave me info it was only a test so finally there is a need to find software on PC (Video player + MIDI commands receiving).

    Thanks for any ideas ;-)

    Hi Adam

    If the theater has not decieded on what program to use. I would suggest www.arkaos.net which you can control via DMX, Midi or a PC Keyboard.

    It's not that expensive and will do the job.
