Outputting Sequence Timecode Using DVCPRO HD

When you output a DVCPRO HD sequence or clip to a DVCPRO HD device via FireWire, timecode is also output. This works during Print to Video and Edit to Tape operations, as well as during normal playback when external video output via FireWire is enabled.

For more information, see the Final Cut Pro 6 User Manual, Volume IV, Chapter 14, “Assemble and Insert Editing Using Edit to Tape.”

∏Tip: You can also set a custom starting timecode number when you use the black and code feature with DVCPRO HD tapes. For more information about using the black and code feature in Final Cut Pro, see the Final Cut Pro 6 User Manual, Volume IV, Chapter 13, “Preparing to Output to Tape.”

Note: Drop frame timecode is supported when you prepare a 720p tape with black and timecode.

Using the DVCPRO HD Frame Rate Converter

Some 720p DVCPRO HD camcorders can record at variable frame rates, a feature once exclusive to film cameras.

In film, the traditional frame rate is 24 fps, but many cameras can be “overcranked” or “undercranked” to achieve slow- and fast-motion effects. The technique is straightforward: the more frames you record per second, the longer it takes to play them back at 24 fps, and therefore the slower the motion onscreen. The reverse is also true: the fewer frames you record per second, the faster the motion when played back at 24 fps.

Choosing an Intended Playback Rate

Variable frame rate recording with DVCPRO HD works the same way it does with film, except that the final playback rate varies (24, 25, 30, 50, or 60 fps) depending on your final output format. During shooting, you need to have an intended playback rate in mind to know what frame rate to record your footage at. For slow-motion effects, you need to record at a frame rate higher than your intended playback rate. For fast motion, shoot at a frame rate lower than your intended playback rate.

For example, if you shoot at 60 fps and play back your footage at 24 fps, the result will be slow motion because the rate at which you recorded was higher than the final playback rate. However, if you record at 24 fps and play back your footage at 24 fps, your footage will play at normal speed.

6 specifications

The Apple iPhone 6, released in September 2014, marked a significant evolution in Apple's smartphone lineup. This model introduced a larger screen and a sleeker design, setting the stage for future devices in the iPhone series.

One of the most notable features of the iPhone 6 was its display. With a 4.7-inch Retina HD screen, the iPhone 6 offered a resolution of 1334 x 750 pixels, delivering vibrant colors and sharp images. This screen size was a departure from previous models, appealing to users who favored larger displays for better viewing experiences, whether for gaming, watching videos, or browsing the web.

The design of the iPhone 6 was another highlight. It featured a slim, curved aluminum body that not only made it more aesthetically pleasing but also improved its ergonomics. Weighing just 129 grams, the phone was light yet robust. The placement of volume buttons, the power button, and the headphone jack was thoughtfully designed to enhance usability.

Under the hood, the iPhone 6 was powered by the A8 chip, a 64-bit dual-core processor that offered impressive performance and energy efficiency. Coupled with the M8 motion coprocessor, the device could effectively handle demanding apps and services while optimizing battery life, providing users with a smooth experience throughout the day.

The camera capabilities of the iPhone 6 were also advanced for its time. It featured an 8-megapixel rear camera with optical image stabilization and a f/2.2 aperture, allowing for clearer low-light photography. The front-facing camera was improved as well, offering a 1.2-megapixel resolution and support for 720p HD video, making it great for selfies and video calls.

Connectivity options included LTE support, enabling faster download speeds, and Wi-Fi calling, which allowed users to make calls over Wi-Fi networks, enhancing communication in areas with poor cellular coverage. The iPhone 6 also introduced the Apple Pay feature, allowing users to make secure transactions using their devices.

In terms of software, the iPhone 6 originally came with iOS 8, which boasted new features such as HealthKit and HomeKit, further integrating technology into daily life. Regular software updates ensured that users could enjoy the latest features and security enhancements well into the device's lifecycle.

Overall, the iPhone 6 distinguished itself with a combination of innovative design, powerful performance, and a user-friendly experience, solidifying Apple's position in the smartphone market and paving the way for future iterations in the iPhone lineup.
