Interpolation of time codes by the CTL counter
To use time codes as addresses of edit points, the time
codes must be recorded on the tape in ascending order.
As long as they are in ascending order, time codes do not
have to be continuous. The CTL counter automatically
interpolates data for editing even if there are breaks in the
continuity in the time codes.
