About:
Ltc-tools is a command-line utility suite for processing Linear Timecode (LTC) audio streams. It provides high-precision tools to decode, generate, and manipulate LTC signals for synchronization tasks. This makes it essential for aligning audio and video equipment in professional production environments.
Key Features:
  • Decode LTC from audio inputs in real-time
  • Generate LTC signals for device synchronization
  • Frame-accurate timecode processing
  • Supports various sample rates and bit depths
Use Cases:
  • Synchronizing audio recorders with video cameras in field production
  • Generating timecode for playback systems in post-production workflows
  • Analyzing LTC signal integrity and debugging sync issues
Alternatives:
  • ltc-tools (Python) – A Python library with similar functionality but requires a Python runtime environment.
  • SoX (Sound eXchange) – A general-purpose audio utility that can manipulate audio but lacks dedicated LTC-specific features.
