Appears during playback when the time code has been recorded in drop frame
mode. The video output is distorted and audio output is muted at the drop point of
the time code. Check the playback clip.
Playing back a 24p frame-rate clip requires that the time code be recorded in non-
drop frame mode.
Appears when the time code in an HD SDI input is in the drop frame mode during EE
or recording. Normal recording will not be possible under these conditions.
Check signal input to the unit. Set the input time code to non-drop frame mode.
