Hi Helena,
Thanks for the clarification.
Just to make sure - to get any kind of TC information from a FCP timeline I would need to use the "Mackie Control Universal" protocol. Or is there another way ?

We use MIDI as a transport to talk to control surfaces, which converse with us in MIDI events. We speak to the surfaces using the "Mackie Control Universal" protocol owned by Mackie. Note that while MIDI timecode are realtime MIDI events, they are not part of the Mackie Control Universal protocol
Cheers, Helena

It works quite cool right now based upon simple FCP batch lists, though there is a lot of stuff missing as the needed hardware is not finished yet and we have to test more cameras. Something I just realized is that a part of that hardware could be the 'ultimate' widget for FCP as it allows to convert Midi TC to LTC and vice versa. If we would be able to get the Midi TC from FCP (or other Pro apps) we would be able to route this to an external (USB driven) TC display which can be attached to any monitor or just mounted on a wall below a projection or whatever. At IBC the people had been excited out that idea, especially because the device will be very cheap as standard unit (you can still spend some money on big TC displays). Maybe you can tell me how get the Midi TC, I've done some research but didn't find anything.
Kind regards Andreas
