Cue Lists have a property to accept SMPTE Time Code from multiple sources.
Any number of Cue Lists may have SMPTE Time Code, each using the same or assigned individual sources.
Each Cue on the Cue List will GO when the recorded SMPTE Time Code is received.
If the SMPTE source is rewound or advanced, Marquee will sync the Cue List when the clock advances through the first cue that has the new time.
SMPTE Times can be manually added or edited for each cue using the Blue Box. The SMPTE Learn Mode Tool can be used to automatically assign or change SMPTE Times in each Cue.
Marquee has Macros that allow you to control the Processor's Media Player to play CD's, Wave files, MP3's or MPEG's.
You can read the current SMPTE time for the selected Cue List in the Status Bubbles:
When using MP3 files, the SMPTE Hour place holder is determined by the MP3 track number. If you are using multiple songs, you probably want each song to have its own hour. To change it, you must change the properties of your MP3 file on a standard Windows machine. Right click and get the properties of the file and change to the Summary tab. Press the Advanced >> button:
The Advanced button will show you properties that look like this:
You can click on and change the Track Number and Apply the changes. When you open this MP3 file back on Marquee, the SMPTE Hour will relate to this Track Number.
Note:
To read Time Code from the Windows Media Player and to control the media player with Media Player Control, the Marquee Media Player Communications Plug-in must be enabled:
