Outputs

Outputs represent timecode signals that Timecode Toolbox sends out to external devices or other software. They can be connected to either inputs that receive timecodes from external sources, or generators that generate timecodes internally.

Currently TimecodeToolbox supports the following outputs:

Art-Net Timecode

Open protocol by Artistic license: art-net.org.uk

More details on how to use Art-Net Timecode

Linking to inputs and generators

By default, outputs aren't linked to any inputs or generators, so they won't be sending any timecode until you link them to a source.

To link an output:

  • Click either the Linked button or the Unlinked button to switch to link mode on the output you want to link.

  • Then click the input or generator you want to link the timecode to.

  • You will then be able to see the details of which input or generator is connected under the name of the output:

    Linked Output Example

To unlink an output:

  • Click the Linked button button on the output.
  • Click on the output itself to unlink it from its source.
  • This will change the Linked button button back to a Unlinked button.
