Timecode Display

When the SloMo Mini displays timecode, it displays more than just the 
current timecode.  The character to the left of the hours field indicates drop 
frame operation.  If the machine returns nondrop frame timecode, the 
SloMo Mini displays a space as shown in the screenshots below.
