atc-start

optional

hh:mm:ss:ff

timecode string

in timecode

format of media

file

Absolute timecode of the first frame of the

range to be played. Absolute meaning that the

first valid video frame always has time

timeCodeStart from the MXF header.

This start time applies to all input files, unless

overruled by a dedicated

fileN-tc-start or

fileN-atc-start field.

If not specified, playback will start with the first

valid frame found in the file.

atc-end

optional

hh:mm:ss:ff

timecode string

in timecode

format of media

file

Absolute timecode of the last frame of the

range to be played. That is, this time is

inclusive. Absolute meaning that the first valid

video frame always has time startTimeCode

from MXF header.

Warning: Due to technical design, atc-end can

only be used if atc-start is also used!!!

This end time applies to all input files, unless

overruled by a dedicated

fileN-tc-end or

fileN-atc-end field.

If not specified, playback will continue up to and

including the last valid frame found in the file.

fileN-atc-start optional

hh:mm:ss:ff

timecode string

in timecode

format of media

file

Similar to the

atc-start field, but only

applies to the media file defined with the

associated

fileN field. N is in the range [0, ...].

For example, if a complex source string defines

a clip comprised of three media files, it is

possible to define an individual atc-start time for

the last input file with something like

atc-

start=10:11:00:00; file2-atc-

start=10:10:42:00;
