LTC out CHOP, CLOCK CHOP

Hi guys. i’m totally new in TD. i have couple of question about LTC in/out CHOP and Clock CHOP.
Q1: i know ltc out is designed for outputting LTC timecode based on manual user inputs. (for frame, second, minute and hours) but is there anyway to tell LTC out to read data ( frame, second, minute, hour) from a clock chop? means LTC out CHOP output system timecode (as clock chop read the system time).
Q2:in LTC in CHOP, as the user should define the FPS of inputting LTC, is there anyway to detect the FPS of inputting LTC automatically?
Thanks.

There is currently no way to control the LTC Out CHOP that way, although we are considering such a feature for the future.

LTC does not include FPS as part of it’s message, you need to set that manually. It’s a very simple standard (decoding time via audio signal), so it doesn’t have the kind of information you can include in a network packet.
