MIDI TIME CODE

I've used MTC quite a few times with my EOS, we have 2 annual shows where we've been using it for a few years, and both are accomplished a little differently.

For one of the shows we do the audio playback through Pro-Tools, we set Pro-Tools to output MTC of our current time.

For the other show we use Q-Lab for audio playback, with cue lab we create an audio cue, which we auto-continue with a MTC start cue.  Then we just start the time code in 30 min increments with each audio track.

The pro-tools thing gives us the ability to start anywhere in the track and have to MTC line up, where as with Q-Lab we always need to start at the beginning of the track for MTC to run properly.
