printer serial port on your Mac. The Mac Syncman sends and
receives MIDI over either or both serial ports.

printer. When the printer Serial Thru switch on the front panel is
Out, the Mac Syncman is bypassed and the Mac is connected direct-
ly to your printer. Because of this unique serial Thru feature, you do
not have to unplug and re-plug cables to switch between the MIDI
interface and your printer.

Dip-Switch Descriptions
Frames
(SMPTE Format). When Mac Syncman is in SMPTE Mode
(i.e. when the Off/MTC switch is Down), these dip-switches allow
you to select the SMPTE format that Mac Syncman will write to and
read from tape. All standard SMPTE formats are supported includ-
ing 24, 25, and 30 frames per second, and Drop Frame. If the Mac
Syncman Off/MTC switch is up, these Frame switches are ignored.
The Frame Switch positions and corresponding SMPTE formats are
as follows:
The most commonly used SMPTE format is 30 Frames. To set the
Mac Syncman to 30 Frames both of the Frame switches should be
down.
Off/MIDI Time Code Switch (Off/MTC). This Switch would nor-
mally be set to MTC (Down).
Mac Syncman is in SMPTE Mode
whenever the Off/MTC switch is Down. Mac Syncman cannot read
or write SMPTE when this switch is Up.
We recommend that you
leave the Off/MTC switch DOWN.
