LTCMBS.FrameToTime(OutputTimecode as LTCSMPTETimecodeMBS, InputFrame as LTCFrameMBS, Flags as Integer = 0)

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Timecode	MBS Tools Plugin	20.1	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	All

Convert binary LTCFrame into a SMPTETimecode.

Binary combination of flags - here only LTC_USE_DATE is relevant.
if LTC_USE_DATE is set, the user-fields in LTCFrame will be parsed into the date variable of SMPTETimecode. otherwise the date information in the SMPTETimecode is set to zero.

Some examples using this method:

• /Tools/LTC/Listen for TimeCode
• /Tools/LTC/LTC Test

LTCMBS.LoadLibrary(file as folderitem) as boolean

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Timecode	MBS Tools Plugin	20.1	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	All

Loads LTC library from a file.

Please get a libltc.dll/so/dylib for your platform and tell the plugin where to load it here.

Returns true on success and false on failure.
See LibraryLoadErrorMessage and LibraryLoadError in case of error.

LTCMBS.TimeToFrame(OutputFrame as LTCFrameMBS, InputTimecode as LTCSMPTETimecodeMBS, TVStandard as Integer, Flags as Integer = 0)

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Timecode	MBS Tools Plugin	20.1	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	All

Translate SMPTETimecode into its binary LTC representation and set the LTC frame's parity bit accordingly.

OutputFrame: the frame to be set
InputTimecode: timecode input
TVStandard: the TV standard to use for parity bit assignment
Flags: flags binary combination of flag values - here only LTC_USE_DATE and LTC_NO_PARITY are relevant.
If LTC_USE_DATE is given, user-fields in LTCFrame will be set from the date in SMPTETimecode, otherwise the user-bits are not modified. All non-timecode fields remain untouched - except for the parity bit unless LTC_NO_PARITY is given.
