8 – MIDI82 TASCAM 2488 User’s GuideMIDI Time CodeWith the transport stopped, from the SYNC/MIDI menu,select the SYNC option and press ENTER:• SOURCE can be INTERNAL (the 2488 acts as the masterunit) or EXTERNAL (the 2488 takes its synchroniza-tion from another unit).• FRAME TYPE refers to the format of the MTC sentand received by the 2488. This can be either 24(film), 25 (EBU TV), 29D (29 fps drop-frame, usedwith NTSC color), 29ND (29fps non-drop, also usedwith NTSC color), or 30 (NTSTC monochrome andoften used for audio-only work)• OFFSET allows you to select the offset of the 2488relative to the incoming timecode (outgoing time-code is always the same as the absolute position).For example, your song always starts at the “allzeroes” position, but if you are dubbing it ontovideo at 30 minutes into the video, you should havean offset of 30 minutes set here.
