Limitations for SYNC Peripherals Locked to Video Input or Video ReferenceA SYNC peripheral can generate timecode at any frame rate when locked to Video Reference or Video In, regardless of the frame rate of the incoming video reference signal. However, if you choose to generate timecode using a frame rate which does not match that of the video signal, the frame edges in the Pro Tools session (and the frame edges of the timecode you are generating) will not be aligned with the video frame edges.

If you change timecode rates in the middle of a session, many SMPTE-to-MIDI Timecode converters need to be turned off and turned on again to recognize the new frame rate.
