Because Aximmetry cannot capture timecode using the audio interface, we developed software that combines camera tracking, time-based audio interface capture, and OSC timecode transmission. I've already added a node to Aximmetry to recognize the timecode, but recording still starts from 00.
"I'm sending SMPTE timecode via OSC from external tracking software. Aximmetry receives it through Text To Timecode module with Timecode Master enabled. But recording still starts from 00:00:00. How can I use OSC-received timecode as the Master Timecode for recording?
Urgent question regarding OSC timecode transmission.

Hi,
Can you clarify where you are seeing the value "00"? Is it in the OSC data, or somewhere else in your workflow? Also, what type of data and how are you recording it?
After connecting the OSC module to the Text To Timecode module in Aximmetry, what type of modules do you use? Please describe what you do next so I can better understand your workflow.
Note that the timecode format consists of hours, minutes, seconds, and the number of frames within the current second. The Text To Timecode module expects a text (string) in that format. If you change the frame rate (Timecode Base) to something different from the original recording, then everything will probably produce wrong values. This is because the maximum number of frames per second will not match. Also, timecode is stored as a hexadecimal (base 16) number. When peeking at a timecode value, look at the second line, which shows the hexadecimal breakdown. For example, “02 50 04 24” means 2 hours, 50 minutes, 4 seconds, and 24 frames.
Warmest regards,
hello
