MTC is a different encoding of the same data. SMPTE is an audio signal
that has be decoded to get time values; MTC is a MIDI event stream
that has be decoded to get time values. the underlying timeline and
the resolution of both of them are the same.
i don't like MTC either as a mechanism to share an audio timeline.
audio has a resolution of 1 sample. our world has been polluted by
film and video people who think that 1/30th of a second is accurate
enough. yeah, ok so they added 1/3000th later (subframes) but who uses
it?
i have nothing against MTC or SMPTE for transport synchronization.
