Mark
of the Unicorn introduces the MIDI Timepiece AV. Combine MIDI with
ADATs, ProTools, or video. The MIDI Timepiece AV takes our
world-renowned MIDI Time Piece II and adds synchronization that you
really need, like video genlock, ADAT sync, and word clock sync. Even
Digidesign superclock!
Slave ADATs, Digidesign hardware or word-clock
compatible devices to SMTPE and video. Drive your ADATs from your
sequencer without an Alesis BRC. Or control everything from an MMC
controller like JL Cooper's CuePoint. The MTP AV pulls it all together
for stable, centralized, hassle-free synchronization and MIDI
networking. For Macintosh, Windows, and stand-alone setups.
The MIDI Time Piece AV provides eight discrete
MIDI cables (in and out) for your computer. This allows you to use 128
independent MIDI channels. To expand beyond this, you can network up to
four MTPs for a total of 512 MIDI channels. You can even connect two
computers to an MTP AV network.
The MTP AV is also an 8x8 merger and router.
You can merge any combinations of the eight inputs simultaneously to
any combination of the eight outputs. Because the MTP AV's internal
memory can be programmed from the front panel, the MTP AV is the
perfect choice for live performance applications where fast and
flexible MIDI patching is essential. You can take the MTP AV on the
road because it can operate with or without a computer. The MTP AV can
be set to change scenes in response to patch changes, allowing remote
control from any MIDI controller.
USB Compatibility
MOTU has also developed a full line of USB MIDI
interfaces. The MIDI Timepiece AV is also available in USB compatible
format. MOTU's USB MIDI interfaces under both MacOS and Windows and
they adhere to the high standards of their current line of serial and
parallel interfaces - the only difference is that you connect them
using USB.
MOTU USB interfaces support hot swapping, so
you never have to power down or restart your computer. Unlike other USB
interfaces, you don't have to 'scan' when you add or remove them. And
talk about expansion! You can mix and match any combination of MOTU USB
interfaces to suit your MIDI I/O needs. Some folks out there might try
to scare you with stories about "random reboot" problems, but rest
assured. MOTU USB interfaces are specially designed to support multiple
interfaces on a network so that you'll never experience any problems.
