[SML] Educational sources on time code and sync

[Stephen Rees]

John Huntington's book, "Control Systems for Live Entertainment " (it is
known now as Show Networks and Control Systems) should answer most of your
questions.  It was a valuable resource for a USITT workshop I took years
ago. I think in Minneapolis. Amazon has it for USD$50.00
