There are five sources of time data that can be used to trigger Artist's System Commands.

Timecode Sources
RTC the system real-time clock
MTC MIDI Time Code
ATC Audio Manager audio file playback
VTC Video Manager video file playback
CTC Disk media (CD/DVD) playback

Artist has many timed sources through which you can automate your shows.

Real-time clock[edit]

The PC has a real-time clock built into it that is used to display the time and date on the taskbar. The accuracy of this clock can be enhanced in many ways including internet time servers.

The real-time events feature of Artist also includes a seven-day calendar allowing you to create events that only happen on particular days.

Included in the Artist installation are two applications that provide extra real-time functionality.

Real-time Extras
Scheduler this provides a 365-day calendar and event list that can control functions within Artist. This application resides in the Windows system task tray.
Sunrise this application provides the times of the sunrise and sunset calculated from the computer's geographical location. This application resides in the Windows system task tray.

External time code[edit]

Artist can interpret MIDI Timecode (MTC) messages sent to it by Windows. Many Windows-installed devices can send these messages as a response to timecode from an external source. First is the MIDI input port. Some computers have a MIDI input port available that a user can input MTC from some external device. Some installed devices can input raw SMPTE analogue data from a tape machine and convert this to MTC either internally or externally.
