Midi Gateway Timecode Out

After some testing this appears to be an error in our documentation.  The gateway cannot output a timecode stream via the out port.  Our apologies for the error.  We will have it corrected as soon as possible.

Hey there, bit of clarification. The Response MIDI Gateway does support Standard MIDI over USB device class. So if you have a third party software that uses is this standard communication it would connect to the gateway over USB and output correctly. However, saranow is correct that no ETC product generates MIDI TC and we should update our documentation to be a bit clearer. Hope this helps

Thanks for fast clarification. Helps a lot for thinking about future setup.

Be aware that presently you can not output MIDI Timecode onto the network from USB.

For example, the following CAN'T be done:

Computer -> USB -> MIDI Response Gateway -> Network MIDI Timecode -> Eos Console

The following CAN be done:

Computer -> USB -> MIDI Response Gateway -> 5 PIN MIIDI DIN

or 

Computer -> Network MIDI Timecode -> MIDI Response Gateway -> 5 PIN MIIDI DIN

If you desire to use a MIDI response gateway to put timecode onto the lighting network by a 3rd party application and use it within your console you will require two MIDI Response Gateways set up as follows:

Computer -> USB -> MIDI Response Gateway -> 5 PIN MIIDI DIN -> MIDI Response Gateway -> Network MIDI Timecode -> Eos Console

The first MIDI Response Gateway could be substituted for any USB to MIDI adapter.
