Live can receive either MIDI ClockВ or MIDI Timecode (MTC):

PatternВ is recommended if the synced device is a drum machine or groove box that plays looped patterns.

SongВ is used to transmit the Song Position Pointer information together with the MIDI Clock, which is useful when syncing another DAW to Live.

You can choose between SongВ or PatternВ from the dropdown: Live can send only MIDI Clock on its output ports. Note: Live's tempo may fluctuate when synced to another device to 'nudge' itself into time. 'Play' and 'Stop' in Live's transport don't have any effect when Live is in external sync mode. Live's transport will start at the same time.
