Does anyone know if the PM5D can transmit MIDI Time Code? I know it can generate time code, but I can't seem to figure out if/how it can send MTC.
Can the PM5D transmit MTC?

MTC makes my AOD (acronym overload disorder) act up.
Round these parts, MTC stands for Missionary Training Center. It's a Mormon thing.

Re: Can the PM5D transmit MTC?
I'm sorry Andrew, eventhough we have two 5Ds in house, I'm not that up on Midi stuff and don't know how to test it. I know that you have a 5D out on Rain, so I don't think there's anything that I can test for you that you probably already haven't.
Maybe Mac would know something?

Re: Can the PM5D transmit MTC?
Yeah, I've tried everything I can think of on my PM5D and gone through the manual, so I'm pretty sure it can't generate MTC, even though it seems like it can read it.

Re: Can the PM5D transmit MTC?
Everything I read in the manual always stated that it can receive MTC, but never mentions that it can generate it.

Re: Can the PM5D transmit MTC?
Officially, the 5D can only read LTC/MTC, and can't generate it.
However, it can generate its own code internally, and it would be worth seeing if this ever appears on the MIDI port. Lots of Yamaha consoles transmit undocumented parameters on the MIDI output.
I'm not sure what your application is, but it might be worth using an external generator like a Rosendahl MIF. If you are trying to run timecode on a scene recall, you may be best to use a midi command to trigger an external TC gen.
