Abstract:
1. A method of transmitting a time code signal, comprising: transmitting a plurality of audio signals from a plurality of microphones to an audio recorder; recording the plurality of audio signals with the audio recorder; creating a mixed audio signal including the plurality of audio signals using an audio mixer, wherein the mixed audio signal includes a plurality of digital samples; transmitting the mixed audio signal to a time code device; generating a first time code signal including a plurality of bits using the time code device; displaying a value of the first time code signal on the time code device; generating a data stream by superimposing the first time code signal onto the mixed audio signal using the time code device, wherein each bit of the time code signal replaces a bit of a different digital sample of the mixed audio signal; transmitting the data stream to a first external device; recreating the first time code signal in the first external device by identifying and isolating the bits of the first time code signal from the data stream; displaying a value of the first time code signal on the first external device; and using the first external device to play the mixed audio signal portion of the data stream.
