5.2Time & Frame Search Guidelines

When issuing a time search, playback may begin slightly before or after the indicated time. The PRV-9000 is programmed to jump to the closed full frame. In DVD technology, this full frame is known as an I frame. The recorder checks before and after the selected point on the disc for the closed I frame then jumps to that frame.

To issue a time search to DVD-Video and Video-format media, the disc must be playing. The recorder ignores the command if the disc is stopped.

If Frame Search is ON, add a frame number to the end of the time search. The frame number needs to be between 0 and frame 24 for the U.S. standard NTSC (30 frames/per second) video. For example, 22 minutes, 10 seconds and 5 frames is entered as 2, 2, 1, 0, 0, 5.

When using Frame Search with film material, the recorded rate is 24 frames/per second. The difference between the NTSC video rate of 30/fps and film’s 24/fps may cause an exact frame search to fail. Film’s playback rate causes frame- count inaccuracies.

Note: If searching by frame, the recorder pauses on the specified frame and waits for a PLAY or other command before continuing.
