*TIMECODE [+]HH:MM:SS:FF
*TC [+]HH:MM:SS:FF
*T [+]HH:MM:SS:FF

*ERASE[+] [HH:MM:SS:FF]
*E [+][HH:MM:SS:FF]
Erase the current caption from the screen at the indicated time code.
Example 1: *ERASE 1:5:10

to be erased.

Increase the current time code index by the indicated amount. If no time code value is
specified the PAD command defaults to one second.
Example: *PAD 0:25
This command will advance the current time code index by 25 frames.
Example: *PAD
This command will advance the current time code index by 1 second.

present between each rollup data line.

This command will insert a 35 frame delay between text Roll-up lines.
*DURATION MM:SS:FF
