z Tips
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.
