Time Code
The time code stamp helps determine
where the cassette is positioned. A
time code is always recorded, but
does not appear on the image itself,
only on-screen.
If a recording starts at a blank portion of
the tape, the time code begins counting
from 00:00:00 (minute:second:frame).
If a recording starts from the end of a
previously recorded scene, the time
code continues from the last time code
number. If a blank portion of a tape is
left part way through a recording, the
time code is interrupted. When
recording resumes, the time code starts
counting again from 00:00:00.
