Buttons, fields, and controls
| Control | What it does | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Enable LTC | Turns LTC features on or off. | Use for timecode-based workflows. |
| Internal Generator | Generates timecode inside Falcon Play. | Use for rehearsals or self-contained playback. |
| External Audio Input | Receives LTC from an audio device. | Use with external timecode sources. |
| Frame Rate | Sets timecode frame rate. | Match production frame rate. |
| Start Timecode | Initial timecode for generator. | Use when the show starts at a specific TC. |
| Start | Starts internal generator. | Use to begin generated timecode. |
| Stop | Stops internal generator. | Use when ending or resetting. |
| Scan Devices | Requests and lists audio input devices. | Use when external input is not visible. |
Best practices
- Match LTC frame rate to vision mixer and production format.
- Test external audio input permissions before show time.
- Use TC Trigger fields on items only after LTC is stable.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Likely cause | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| No audio devices listed | Browser permission or device access missing. | Click Scan Devices and allow microphone/audio input access. |
| Triggers fire at wrong time | Frame rate mismatch. | Check LTC frame rate and item TC Trigger values. |
| No LTC signal | External source is disconnected or silent. | Check audio routing and device selection. |
