This page also reports the number of frames played (Frame Count).
Frame Reporting
Returns the frame number as derived from the GOP header time code. The firm-
ware converts time code (in HH:MM:SS:FF format) into a frame number. This is
useful for back-to-back no-black playback (i.e. stream concatenation) because this
field will reflect the actual frame number of the currently playing stream.
The frame count will account for Drop Frame in NTSC. The starting frame count
depends on the initial GOP time code contained in the MPEG stream. If the
stream starts at 00:00:00:00, the first frame number will be 0. For other starting
time codes, a frame number will be derived from the hour, minutes, seconds,
and frames. As an example, for an initial GOP time code of 01:00:00:00, the first
frame will have a frame number of
NTSC with Drop Frame (29.97 Hz):
