About time code
Time code is a useful function for advanced image editing, which records hours/minutes/seconds/frames on
the image data.
When TV system is set to NTSC and the frame rate is 30p or 60p, gaps between the actual time and the
time code occur during extended periods of recording because there is a slight difference between the
number of frames per second of the time code and the actual frame frequency of NTSC image signal. Drop
frame corrects this gap to ensure that the time code matches the actual time. The first frame numbers (the
first 2 frame numbers for 30p, or the first 4 frame numbers for 60p) are removed every minute except in
every tenth minute. Time code without this correction is called non-drop frame.
