What is a JL-Cooper PPS-100??<br />
What is a Pocket Sync??<br />

These devices are SMPTE-to-MIDI convertors. While I don't know what<br />
the pros in the studios would say about this, my personal thought is<br />
that I wouldn't call them synchronizers, since there are machines that<br />
sync one or more slave tape decks up to a master SMPTE source by<br />
varying the speed of playback. (Although the JLCooper catalog I have<br />
calls them synchronizers anyways ;)<br />
I have a JLCooper PPS-100, which is a rack-mount version of the PPS-2.<br />
Both devices take an audio input that is streaming SMPTE (Society of<br />
Motion Picture and Televison Engineers [time code]) and converts that<br />
to a MIDI output, which streams out MTC (Midi Time Code.)<br />
Since I do film scoring, I'll tell you how you use this in a scoring<br />
application.<br />
If you have a master video (on a VHS or Beta or whatever tape,) you<br />
stripe one channel of audio with SMPTE code. This gives every frame<br />
of video a corresponding time in hours:minutes: seconds:frames<br />
[e.g. 01:02:39:15] and is expressed by the audio coming from said<br />
audio channel.<br />
