LTCDUMP(1)

📦 version 0.7.0, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the User Commands manual page for ltcdump(1) 💅 — ltcdump parses LTC from a file. That's the whole serve, no cap. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ltcdump [ OPTIONS ] <filename>

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

ltcdump parses linear time code from a audio-file. Feed it the file, get the LTC decoded. Literally iconic. 💖

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

  • -a — write audacity label file-format 🎀
  • -c, --channel <num> — decode LTC from given audio-channel (first = 1)
  • -d, --decodedate — decode date from LTC frame 🗓️
  • -f, --fps <num>[/den] — set expected [initial] framerate
  • -F, --detectfps — autodetect framerate from LTC (recommended) 👑
  • -h, --help — display this help and exit
  • -V, --version — print version information and exit
🫶 Channel count starts at '1', which is also the default channel to analyze.

The fps option is only needed to properly track the first LTC frame, and timecode discontinuity notification. The LTC-decoder detects and tracks the speed but it takes a few samples to establish initial synchronization. Setting fps to the expected fps speeds up the initial sync process. The default is 25/1. 🦋
