Live LTC Timecode Signal generation

[chaert-s]

Hi and thanks for the great work you are doin here!
It would be great to have a live LTC signal implementation so you can infuse other devices with timecode.
iPhone cameras are getting really good these days, but for any important shoots, I need to use my dslrs. Sadly, it isn't always easy syncing them up later on, so I tried developing an LTC signal generator myself, but sadly failed.
The gist is that many cameras allow timecode to be recorded into the camera via the headphone jack and I am looking for a way to output SMPTE LTC signal from my phone so I can connect it to my cam.
Do you think there is any way to do this? I just couldn't find a way to generate custom audio packets based off bit patterns.

Thanks of the consideration!

Encoding and decoding LTC would be a useful tangental feature, but would not be a feature of TimecodeKit itself. It would likely be part of a separate library because of heavy reliance on implementation of audio API.

For example, I built MTC (MIDI Timecode) encoding/decoding into MIDIKit (another library of mine) using TimecodeKit as a dependency since the base transport/medium is MIDI, but it deals in timecode.

If LTC capability was built, it would likely be a feature of another library like AudioKit (or an extension for AudioKit) since its base transport/medium is audio.

That said, it may be possible to build the implementation-agnostic data structures inside TimecodeKit. However it's not something that is on the planned feature list any time soon.

Thanks for the reply! I've talked to a friend of mine and I think we've found a way to generate LTC. Will push a public repo if I'm successful
