Sync settings for a theatrical mixing stage

About This Task

To configure Nuendo for this example setup, proceed as follows:

Procedure

  1. Make the connections as shown in the diagram above.

    In this example, the SyncStation handles many of the synchronization tasks. Please refer to the documentation that comes with the SyncStation for complete information on its operation.

  2. Open the Project Synchronization Setup dialog and select the SyncStation as the timecode source.

    The SyncStation sends MTC over the USB connection to Nuendo. The SyncStation will use its “Virtual Master” mode to generate timecode.

  3. In the “Machine Control Input Source” section, select the SyncStation option.

    Provided that the SyncStation is set to route record and track arming commands to Nuendo, this will allow the digital console to record-enable audio tracks in Nuendo and enter record mode via 9-Pin commands sent to the SyncStation.

  4. On the Transport panel, activate the Sync button.

    Nuendo will await incoming timecode from the SyncStation.

  5. Test the record-enable buttons on the console.

    If configured properly, the corresponding audio tracks in Nuendo become record-enabled.

  6. Press play on the console’s transport control.

    This will send the play commands to the SyncStation over 9-Pin and the SyncStation will start generating timecode to synchronize Nuendo.
