Can FCP ignore timecode breaks?

Like in Avid, can you set FCP to ignore TC breaks? running FCP 6 via RS422 to a Sony ECO-9800A through a AJA IoLA via s-video on a G5 2.o dual with 2 GB ram, to a 1 TB raid. I might be overlooking something stupid, all is 30i. Any help would be great.

To expand on that. IN the Audio Video settings you set Deck Control to UNCONTROLLED DEVICE. Then you control the deck manually.

But this means that you are now ignoring timecode completely. So if you lose your hard drives, you lose all your work.

Its a QT Problem, TC Breaks cause the nle to stop and search for the break. if you need the TC intact set Preroll to 3 sec and your "in" after the break (little more than 3 sec) and your "out" before the next break. its a pain in the ass but it has to do with no ltc input on the mac and qt not able to regenerate code from source(qt just runs with the tc after the input)
