well, anyone please explain..at least let me try it on the pc first then move into hog2.

i know its not easy. gota learn

    Sami,
    RE: CD time-> timecode converter.
    Are you trying to create timecode from a CD or read timecode recorded on a CD? The internal CD drive on the WH3 of course will output/generate timecode but it will be relative to that particular CD's start point/playing time not necessarily in synch with a recorded timecode. I was talking to one of the HES guys (sorry, his name escapes me) at LDI last weekend about timecode from CD. As the HogIII doesn't actually read a timecode stripe recorded on CD (i.e. "listen" to the recorded TC) he said a possibility is to create cable for a mini phono jack to XLR and swing it around into a LTC widget or IOP from the headphone jack on the WH3. Thus, you use the internal CD drive to output a timecode signal that has been recorded on a CD. (I haven't done this yet but I intend to.) I don't know if that's what you have in mind but it's an idea. In case you're wondering why you're looping a wire around the front of your console to a widget hooked up in the back, I was told it's because the console family was designed as a network and the idea of playing a CD internally for recorded timecode was seen as less likely than inputting the timecode into one of the network devices (LTC, IOP, etc.) and thus onto the network.
    Hope this helps.
