Which of the following is a primary function of the SMPTE events list viewer?

The primary function of the SMPTE events list viewer is to view and modify SMPTE events. SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) timecode is an important tool in audio and video synchronization, especially in complex productions where precise timing is critical. The events list viewer provides a timeline view of these timecode events, allowing users to monitor, edit, and adjust them as needed.

By enabling the manipulation of these events, the viewer facilitates accurate synchronization between audio and video tracks, ensuring that everything aligns perfectly during playback. This is essential for maintaining audio quality and coherence in any multimedia project. In addition to viewing these events, the capability to modify them expands the user’s control over the project, making it a vital component of the workflow.

Other functions, such as displaying only audio events or creating new audio tracks, may be related to other features of the system, and modifying audio routing might be handled in different sections of the software. However, the specific nature of SMPTE events management is best served by the listed viewer.
