DVCPRO HD Timecode
DVCPRO HD records timecode at 30 fps for NTSC-related frame rates or 25 fps when
recording at 25 fps. When recording a video at 59.94 or 60 fps, each timecode number
actually is used twice, with an asterisk used to distinguish frame 1 and frame 2 of each
timecode pair. Using 30 fps timecode maintains backward compatibility with SMPTE
30 fps timecode.
Important: Dropframe timecode is not supported when using 59.94 or 60 fps
progressive scan video.
