<p>
  This tab is used to change how Ardour interprets and manipulates timecode.
</p>

<ul>
  <li>
    Timecode Settings lets you set the number of frames per second 
    and pull up/down to match the timecode used other synchronized systems. 
  </li>
  <li>
    External Timecode Offsets allows Ardour to a fixed offset from other
    synchronized systems. <dfn>Slave Timecode offset</dfn> adds the 
    specified offset to the recieved timecode (MTC or LTC). 
    <dfn>Timecode Generator offset</dfn> adds the specified offset to
    the timecode generated by Ardour (so far only LTC).
  </li>
  <li>
    Jack Transport / Time Settings determines whether Ardour controls
    Bar|Beat|Tick and other information for Jack.
  </li>

</ul>
