LTCast LTCast Download

Up and running in two minutes

From download to sending timecode on every protocol. Follow the steps in order — most shows only need the first three.

1

Install LTCast

Download the Windows installer or the macOS Universal DMG. The macOS build is Apple-notarized, so it opens without the “unidentified developer” warning. First launch starts your 30-day Pro trial automatically — no account, no credit card.

2

Set up a virtual cable (only for LTC / MTC)

Art-Net and OSC work over the network with nothing extra. To send LTC into other software, install a free virtual audio cable — VB-CABLE on Windows, BlackHole on macOS. For MTC / MIDI Clock, use loopMIDI on Windows or the built-in IAC Driver on macOS.

3

Load a track and play

Drag an audio file in. LTCast auto-detects the LTC channel and frame rate, draws both waveforms, and shows the timecode. Hit play — LTC, MTC, MIDI Clock, Art-Net, and OSC all stream out together from the same clock.

4

Pick your outputs

In Devices, choose where LTC audio goes (your virtual cable or interface) and which MIDI port carries MTC / Clock. Enable Art-Net and OSC with the target console / media-server IP. Run the Pre-Show Check before doors to confirm everything is live.

5

Chase external timecode (optional)

If another device is the master clock, switch to Chase mode and pick the audio input carrying LTC. LTCast locks to the incoming timecode and re-broadcasts it as MTC / Art-Net / OSC — turning one LTC feed into every protocol.

6

Share the clock with your crew

Turn on Viewer Mirror and share the URL (and PIN) with the team. Anyone on the same network opens it on a phone or laptop to see live timecode, the current song, and the next cue. The Stage Monitor shows you who’s connected and their status.

7

Drive it from a Stream Deck (optional)

Install the official Bitfocus Companion module to map transport, song select, and cues onto physical keys. It connects to LTCast over a local WebSocket. OSC Input works too — play / pause / next / select-song from any OSC controller.
