The time code is based on 30 frames per second. However, a gap between the actual time and the time code will
occur during extended periods of recording as the frame frequency of the NTSC image signal is approximately
29.97 frames per second. Drop frame corrects this gap to make the time code and actual time equal. In drop
frame, the first 2 frame numbers are removed every minute except for every tenth minute. The time code without
this correction is called non-drop frame.
