MTC (Midi Time Code)

Hey,

Just as I think I know the software inside and out something else crops up. Can Sweetlight work with Midi Time Code (MTC)? i have never needed to and have never wanted to (until now)

I was wondering if I can program a timeline to start at a specific MTC time, and keep track with it. or individual scenes fired from MTC. Either MTC that is revived internally or from and external source.

Cheers
Tom

Sorry but this is not possible.
The reason is adding this feature is a big job, and we got less than 5 requirements for this during the 10 past years.
We did it a long time ago, and we had a very bad experience with MTC: they are different standards, different frame rates (Europe, USA, ...). It was very difficult to make the MTC code receving accurate. And since a computer is able to play everything itself (light, audio, video, ...), almost nobody would need MTC. Sorry for this.
