Mac

SMPTE timecode toolkit for macOS. Decode files, monitor LTC live, generate signal, split LTC, plus MIDI Timecode output to your DAW or lighting console. TimeCode Studio is a complete SMPTE timecode toolkit for macOS — decode, monitor, generate, and route LTC from a single native app. DECODE TIMECODE FROM FILES Open WAV / BWF audio files, MP3, M4A or any video file (MOV, MP4) and instantly read: • Start timecode — from BWF metadata, QuickTime timecode track, or LTC encoded in the audio waveform • Duration in TC and seconds • Frame rate auto-detection (24, 25, 29.97 NDF/DF, 30, 50, 59.94, 60 fps) and drop-frame flag • Sample-accurate offsets in both samples and frames • Manual frame rate override when files lack metadata LIVE LTC MONITOR Listen to any audio input — built-in microphone, USB audio interface, multitrack recorder — and watch decoded SMPTE timecode update on a large clock display in real time. Pick the device, pick the channel, hit Listen. Auto-detection finds the channel carrying LTC across multi-channel inputs. LTC GENERATOR Generate broadcast-grade LTC signal at 23.976 / 24 / 25 / 29.97 NDF / 29.97 DF / 30 / 50 / 59.94 NDF / 59.94 DF / 60 fps and send it to multiple audio outputs simultaneously — different devices, different channels, individual gain control. Frame-accurate biphase mark code with sample-precision phase tracking. ART-NET TIMECODE Send Art-Net 4 ArtTimeCode packets over UDP to lighting consoles, media servers and visual playback systems. Configure Net / SubNet / Universe with live Port-Address calculation. Run audio LTC and Art-Net at the same time, locked to a single source. TC SPLITTER Capture LTC from any audio input and relay it to multiple audio outputs AND Art-Net at the same time — turn one timecode signal into many. Eliminate the need for external distribution amplifiers and TC bridges. Big release for MIDI users: • New: MIDI Timecode (MTC) output in Generator and Splitter — virtual source visible to any DAW or console, plus picker for hardware MIDI destinations. • Background MIDI helper keeps the virtual source alive across app restarts, so MTC slaves (Logic, Reaper, Resolve, grandMA3 etc.) never lose their binding. • Detected packets/sec rate readout for both Art-Net and MIDI so you can verify outputs at a glance. • Performance: Art-Net send moved off the audio thread, race-free MTC ticker, locked counters, reusable MIDI buffer. BUILT FOR • Live event technicians syncing audio, video and lighting • Broadcast engineers checking BWF metadata before delivery • Theatre and concert technicians distributing TC from a single recorder • Lighting designers sending TC to multiple consoles and media servers • Post-production verifying start timecode and durations • Anyone who has ever wondered "what's the start TC of this WAV?" PRIVACY FIRST TimeCode Studio runs entirely on your Mac. No accounts, no analytics, no cloud, no subscriptions. Fully sandboxed. NATIVE AND FAST Universal binary for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. Hardware-accelerated AVAudioEngine. Modern SwiftUI interface. macOS 14 Sonoma or newer. — By OF COURSE. Visit ofcourse.design for more pro audio and lighting tools.

- Splitter now goes silent when the incoming timecode signal stops, and resumes automatically when it returns — with instant MTC re-sync - Faster MIDI Timecode delivery - Major performance improvements — up to 7× lower CPU usage
