3. If you selected fixed time, you can use the default of
00:00:00:00
(Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Frames) under Starting Value or set a new fixed starting
time. This setting takes effect the next time you click the
Record
button.
NOTE: The Drop Frame control is hidden if your Profile system is configured for
the 625 video standard.
4. To choose drop frame, click on the
Drop Frame
check box. To compensate for the
29.97 frame rate in NTSC, drop-frame timecode synchronizes the rate with elapsed
time. Drop-frame timecode drops two frames per minute, except on the tenth
minute. PAL, on the other hand, has a constant rate of 25 frames per second and
never requires drop-frame timecode.
5. Click
Finish
to save your settings and close the Channel Configuration dialog box.
