Drop Frame Mode
The Drop Frame Mode menu allows for automatic or manual selection of the timecode type in use.
In the AUTO mode, the output timecode type will be the same as the input type. You can manually
force the timecode into drop frame or non drop frame mode, depending on the requirements of your
project. You might want to use this feature, for example, if some of your source material is drop frame,
but your current project is being produced using non drop frame timecode.
 Auto – The output timecode type will match the input type.
 Drop Frame – Forces the output to drop frame timecode, regardless of the input type.
 Non Drop Frame – Forces the output to non drop frame timecode, regardless of the input type.
Please note that Drop Frame time code only applies to 23.98, 29.97 and 59.94 frame rates. For other
frame rates, the processor will automatically use the Non Drop Frame mode, even if Drop Frame is
selected.
If the AUTO mode is selected, but no input timecode is present, the processor will default to the Non
Drop Frame mode. If Drop Frame timecode is required, select Drop Frame mode in this menu.
