TC DROP, NON-DROP NTSC only
These parameters are only available for NTSC and only one may
be enabled at a time. Drop and non-drop enable and disable the
drop-frame function that modifies how the timecode is calculated
during recording.
TC DROP
Enables the drop-frame function:
Frames 00 and 01 are dropped from each minute of video
recorded, except for those minutes evenly divisible by ten.
TC NON-DROP Group Default
Disables drop-frame. No frames are dropped during
recording and the timecode reflects the actual time during
recording.
Use with TC FREE RUN or TC REGEN
TC DROP and TC NON-DROP may only be set when using the TC FREE
RUN or TC REGEN settings.
Type of Separator Indicates TC DROP or NON-DROP
The timecode displayed on the LCD indicates the TC DROP/NON-DROP
mode by using either a semi-colon or a colon as a separator between hours,
minutes, seconds and frames:
DROP HH;MM;SS;FF
NON-DROP HH:MM:SS:FF
