🌸 NAME 🌸

ltcgen — LTC file encoder 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ltcgen [OPTION] <output-file>

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

ltcgen — generate linear time code audio-file. That's the whole vibe: it makes an audio file with LTC in it. 💅

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

  • -d, --date datestring — set the date; format is either DDMMYY or MM/DD/YY 🗓️
  • -f, --fps fps — set frame-rate NUM[/DEN][ndf|df]; default: 25/1ndf 🎞️
  • -g, --volume float — set output level in dBFS; default: -18db 🔊
  • -h, --help — display this help and exit 🫶
  • -l, --duration time — set duration of file to encode, format [[[HH:]MM:]SS:]FF ⏳
  • -m, --timezone tz — set timezone in minutes-west of UTC 🌍
  • -r, --reverse — encode backwards from start-time 🔄
  • -s, --samplerate sr — specify samplerate (default 48000) 🎚️
  • -t, --timecode time — specify start-time/timecode [[[HH:]MM:]SS:]FF ⏰
  • -u, --userbits bcd — specify fixed BCD user bits (max. 8 BCD digits). CAUTION: This ignores any date/timezone settings! 💀
  • -V, --version — print version information and exit 👑
  • -z, --timezone tz — set timezone +HHMM 🌐

Unless a timecode (-t) is given, the current time/date are used. Date (-d) and timezone (-z, -m) are only used if a timecode is given. The timezone may be specified either as HHMM zone, or in minutes-west of UTC. 🕰️

If the duration is <=0, ltcgen write until it receives SIGINT. 😭
