iTimeCode app for iPhone and iPad

iTimeCode is a professional grade LTC/MTC timecode generator for iPhone and iPod. This application is the first one for iOS devices to fulfill all requirements from EN60461 / SMPTE-12M norms, including User Bits. It generates timecode for 24fps, 25 fps, 29.97 fps and 30 fps frame rates, and it also supports forward and backward generation.

The application provides the LTC audio signal directly on the iPhone/iPod audio jack and the MTC (MIDI Time Code) on the MIDI interface at the same time. LTC signal level can be changed directly from application user interface.

The timecode output can be frozen on a given time, and it is possible to enter directly a time value with the keyboard, in order to test chasing capabilities of controlled devices.

It is possible to enter 32 user bits, associated with one of the eight possible Binary Flag combinations.
MIDI Time Code can be produced either as MIDI Quarter Frame or Full Time Code message. It can be transmitted directly over WiFi network using RTP-MIDI open protocol (not requiring any dedicated hardware to transport MIDI over network). The MIDI Time Code is also available on MIDI OUT of iOS compliant MIDI interface attached on docking port.

Note that iTimeCode is designed as a test tool. It is not intended to be used as “Reference Clock”.
