Drop frame/Non-drop frame mode
In the NTSC system, the actual number of frames per 1 second is approximately 29.97 frames, but per time code 30 frames are
processed. To compensate for this difference, the mode called "drop mode" drops frame 00 and 01 for every minute not divisible
by 10.
The "non-drop frame mode" is when no frames are dropped and the actual time shift is neglected.
