Other Time Codes

The Frame Master II also contains two
other Time Code modes: (a) 25 fps
(P

AL

/S

ECAM

) and (b) Custom Time

Code, which can be set to any speed
from 1-100 fps (the default setting is
“true” clock-accurate 30 fps — i.e., 30
fps referenced to 60 Hz).

Note: Both these are “true” speeds in

that they need no adjustments to
synchronize them to real-time.

Conversions

Before moving on, it is very important
to understand how conversions are
done on the calculator, as there are var-
ious standards used throughout the
world. The three conversion methods
used on this calculator:

(1) Frame to Frame — Each frame of

one format is converted to one frame
of another format (i.e., NTSC Non-
Drop Frame Time Code to NTSC
Drop Frame Time Code — the time
code changes, but the number of
frames stays constant).
