Hog500 Midi In issues

Im working on a permenant install for lighting a large painting that has a video triggering cues via SMPTE. I had the entire thing working via a hog pc which was replaced by a new hog 500. i got my show transfered over, but now im having trouble getting midi input.

Origionally i had an XLR coming out of my Sound board directly to a Hog PC Timecode widget. Now i have to send the signal via a midi jumper to interface with the hog 500. in order to convert the xlr to midi im using a PPS-2 www.jlcooper.com/pages/pps2.html. I thought i knew how i need to set that unit (MTC/READ), but im not recieving a signal and i've tried every combinations of settings on the pps2. I've tried setting the MIDI In setup panel on the how and still cant get any signal.

Now this is my first project involving timecode, so if anyone could shed some light on my situation, it would be most appreciated.

    Many time code converters, the PPS-2 being one of them, do not hadle straight timecode jumps correctly. They really need to see a timecode drop, sometimes as little as 2 frames, to jump the time code, other wise they just keep on counting without the jump. Sometimes we have had to turn on the generate timecode for 15frames and then get a 15 frame drop out put into the "jump"

    Hope this helps.
