Recent radical changes in timecode technology, location shooting and post-production
working practices have been brought about by the fragmentation of the television program making industry and by a dramatic increase in affordable
digital transmission and editing equipment and systems. |
Timecode: A User's Guide is an indispensable reference for anyone needing to get to
grips with the many aspects of timecode, whether in-house or on location.
Taking into account these changes this book has now been brought completely up to date to
include:
timecode and DVD, LTC & VITC in HANC packets in the serial digital TV interfaces
timecode in IEEE1394 (Firewire)
timecode and digital video cassettes
new recording formats of DVD, DV mini cassettes and D6 are included
4:3 scanning for wide-screen films - standards updated
new material to cover new working practices
new appendices to cover the global LF time data transmissions and time data embedded in
BBC transmissions
Advice is also given on avoiding and remedying faults and errors.
