 “**Keep running even though timecode stops**” - when this option enabled, BEYOND will continue the show playback even if the incoming timecode signal is lost, or stopped. This option allow the show to continue playback even if there are some drops in timecode signal. When this option is disabled, BEYOND will stop the show playback after 1 second of timecode signal timeout. “**Keep running even though timecode stops**” - when this option enabled, BEYOND will continue the show playback even if the incoming timecode signal is lost, or stopped.

-“**Enable time smooth filter**”. BEYOND can use the time (from timecode) directly. The time value coming from the TimeCode Controller will be used over and over again until a new value has been received.  An alternative solution is based on BEYOND detecting the timecode speed and following the time code as close as possible. In this situation, BEYOND will not just wait for next time code value, it will continue to play the show based on the TimeCode speed it detected. As a result the time is always going forward and moves smoothly.  The time smooth filter should be enabled in all cases, except when you need the show to **stay** in some exact time. +“**Enable time smooth filter**”.

 +===== BIG Timecode Window =====
 +
 +Added for BEYOND 5.5, there is a new BIG timecode viewer window, it is located under View > Show BIG Timecode Window. This window only shows a large preview of current timecode Input and output, and will show multiple timecodes if multiple inputs and outputs are being used.
