Smpte Jumping

I seem to be having a problem with Smpte on the console.

I am currenty using the little Blue smpte input box that goes into a usb port.

When I start show Smpte at 01/00/00.00 the input will read correct time. The current will jump to a random time for a brief second then jump back to and track correctly. It will do this everytime but every time it jumps to a random time dispite where smpte was stopped at.

It will do this every time I start smpte and the real problem is all the cue list that are enabled will jump to a cue in the show then jump back to the top where it is suppost to be. This is only happening on the start of smpte

The show is running 29.95 non drop. I tried changing the level of the smpte input with the shaper we have on it. That did not seem to have an effect on this problem. I also I changed regen to 0.

Any ideas why it is doing this? It makes for an ugly show start.

    Doug,

    I'm glad to hear you have everything working.

    Jump After Frames has an effect when the console receives a timecode value that is different than what it expects. If timecode jumps to a different time, the console will wait this number of frames and then jump to where the new time is. Setting this to 0 will cause the console to track exactly with your timecode source. Setting this value above 0 will give you a bit of a buffer that will prevent the console from jumping around if you have an unstable timecode source.
