Matrox Vetura Playback
Setting the Vetura Playback preferences
The Vetura Playback preferences are the global settings for timecode format,
Matrox 4VANC data, and frame grabs, that are loaded when an .mov clip is
opened.
1 Start Matrox Vetura Playback, and choose Matrox Vetura Playback >
Preferences.
2 Under Timecode Format, select the format to be used for the timecodes
that appear in Vetura Playback. Vetura Playback uses SMPTE standard
timecode represented in hours, minutes, seconds, and frames
(HH:MM:SS:FF).
$ Drop frame This format is a timecode option for 29.97 and 59.94 fps
video only. Because a timecode is represented in whole frames, drop
frame timecode compensates for the difference between the timecode
count and your video’s actual playing time by periodically dropping
frames from the timecode counter. This results in a timecode count that
matches your video’s actual playing time. Vetura Playback displays drop
frame timecode with a semicolon (;) between the seconds and frames
fields (HH:MM:SS;FF).
