Time Code

The time code stamp helps determine where the cassette is positioned. A time code is always recorded, but does not appear on the image itself, only on-screen.

If a recording starts at a blank portion of the tape, the time code begins counting from 00:00:00 (minute:second:frame).

If a recording starts from the end of a previously recorded scene, the time code continues from the last time code number. If a blank portion of a tape is left part way through a recording, the time code is interrupted. When recording resumes, the time code starts counting again from 00:00:00.
