MOTU MIDI Timepiece MTP AV USB MIDI Interface 2000s - Black

This item is in great working order and comes from a pet free/smoke free studio. It has some pretty bad rash on the top from the previous owner. Here is the description of this unit: The MOTU MTP AV (MIDI Timepiece AV) is a professional multi-port MIDI interface, MIDI patchbay, and digital audio/video synchronizer originally introduced by Mark of the Unicorn (MOTU). Key Features & Specifications • MIDI I/O: 8 independent MIDI inputs and 8 independent MIDI outputs (plus a front-panel MIDI I/O port), supporting 128 MIDI channels. Units can be networked together to expand channel capacity. • MIDI Patchbay & Merger: Functions as a programmable 8x8 merge matrix, router, and filter, allowing any input to be routed, split, or layered to any output without needing a computer ("dawless" operation). • Synchronization & Sync Conversion: Translates and synchronizes SMPTE (LTC/MTC), ADAT Sync, Word Clock, video genlock, and Digidesign SuperClock. • Hardware Control & Memory: Features a 16x2 backlit LCD screen, 4 programmable front-panel knobs, a panic button, pedal inputs, and battery-backed internal memory for storing custom scenes and presets (factory and user setups). • Connectivity: Originally connected via Mac/PC serial or parallel ports, later updated to MTP AV USB models for modern computer integration.
