SMPTE Drop Frame Time Code, as its name implies, eliminates frame addresses from the Time
Code each hour to allow matching of Time Code and clock time. Specifically, frame addresses
00 and 01 are eliminated at the end of every minute in an hour, except for minutes 00, 10, 20,
30, 40, and 50. For example, 00:00:59:29 advances to the number 00:01:00:02. In Drop Frame
mode, the frame numbers 00 and 01 do not exist, except for minutes 00, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50.
Since Drop Frame Time Code eliminates only frame addresses, the actual video is unaffected.
Color videoframes continue to progress at the rate of 29.97 per second. Any calculations of
program length based on Drop Frame Time Code will, therefore, agree with standard clock
time.
