determines how many frames the timecode counts per second. The playback frame rate determines the
frame rate at which clips will be played back.

rate that clips will be played back at. Changing the project frame rate will automatically also change the

rates for these settings by changing the sensor frame rate or the any of the SDI frame rates individually.
