What is drop frame?

 

Although 30 frames are considered as 1

 

second in time code processing, the actual

 

frame frequency of an NTSC image signal

 

is 29.97 frames/sec. As a result, the time

 

code gradually lags behind real time as the

 

recording gets longer. The drop frame

 

function adjusts the time code to real time.

 

In the drop frame process, the first 2 frames

 

of each second are not recorded except in

 

every tenth minute. Recording without the

 

drop frame process is called non-drop

 

frame recording.

 

 

 

TC RUN

B REC RUN
