opcode studio 4 Manual Do Utilizador

Studio 4 will cease to generate SMPTE 
timecode when the Stop Striping button 
is clicked (or when the Stop field value is 
reached and the Stop check box is 
checked).

NOTE: The Stop check box must be 
checked BEFORE clicking the 

ing button. If you check the Stop check box 
AFTER clicking 

Start Striping, then strip-

As an example, let’s say you wanted to 
stripe a tape with exactly 33 minutes of 
time code, and you wanted this stripe to 
begin at 1 hour SMPTE time. You would 
type 01:00:00:00 into your Start field, 
check the Stop check box, enter 
01:33:00:00 into your Stop field, roll tape, 
and press the Start Striping button.

You can choose one of five SMPTE frame 
rates from the Frame Rate pop-up menu. 
When you click the Start Striping but-
ton, the chosen rate is generated within 
the Studio 4 and sent to the SMPTE OUT 
jack. The following is a brief description 
of the various SMPTE frame rates.

•

24 Frame: Film frame rate.

•

25 Frame: EBU (European) television 
frame rate.

•

29.97 Drop Frame: NTSC color televi-
sion frame rate.

•

29.97 Non-Drop: Used to sync to 
NTSC color television without drop-
ping frames. SMPTE time does not 
match real-time, but playback pitch is 
unaffected.

•

30 Non-Drop: Original NTSC black 
and white television standard. Often 
used in audio-only situations since 
there are no dropped frames and the 
SMPTE time is equal to real time.
