# LTC to MTC

1\. Add the Required Elements

![](/files/-LuZre05DAOf_l7qWNle)

On the RD/ShowCockpit Elements section, click the Add button to add the required elements to the project:

* External Control > Timecode > LTC Input
* External Control > Timecode > MTC Output

Click the toggle buttons on the elements to enable them.

2\. Configure Elements Options

If you click on one element in your project (under the Elements tab), its options are displayed on the right sidebar.

In case the default options do not suit your needs, you can use these options to select the Input Device and its sampling rates for the LTC Input element and also the output MIDI device for the MTC Output element.

You should also set the FPS (Frames-Per-Second) to a sensible value for both input and output (they can be different, if needed).

3\. Map the LTC Input to MTC Output

Open the Mapping section and select the MTC Output element on the left. Select the Timecode Sync Function.

Then select the LTC Input on the right list (controls) and assign the previously selected function to the Timecode Sync Control by clicking it under the Others tab.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://academy.showcockpit.com/showcockpit-for-windows/tutorials/timecode/ltc-to-mtc.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
