1、 1 Scope This practice specifies digital code formats and modulation methods for motion-picture film to be used for timing, control, editing, and synchronization purposes. This practice also specifies the relationship of the code to the motion-picture frame. The codes described in this practice are

2、similar to the continuous code described in SMPTE 12M. There are two types of codes described in this practice. The first type, type C, is a continuous code which is very similar to the continuous code specified in SMPTE 12M. This type of code can be used in situations where the film is moving conti

3、nuously at the time of both recording and reproduction. The second type of code, type B, is a noncontinuous, block-type code, composed of blocks of data, each complete in itself, with gaps between the blocks. It is designed so that the code may be recorded and played back on equipment with intermitt

4、ent film motion but still be decoded with the same type of electronic equipment used to read the type C or continuous time code. The codes described in this practice can be used at various frame rates, the ones currently of interest being 24, 25, and 30 frames per second. 2 Normative references The

9、re Systems RP 136-2004 Page 2 of 8 pages 3 Modulation method The modulation method shall be such that a transition occurs at the beginning of every bit period. One is represented by a second transition one half a bit period from the start of the bit. Zero is represented when there is no transition w

10、ithin the bit period. 4 Code formats Two code formats are described: type C and type B. Clauses 4.1 and 4.2 describe the unique characteristics of the two code types. The other clauses, 4.3 and 4.4, apply to both code types. 4.1 Type C code format 4.1.1 Each motion-picture frame shall be defined by

11、a unique and complete address. 4.1.2 The frames shall be numbered successively 0 through 23, 24, or 29, corresponding to the frame rate being used. 4.1.3 Each address shall consist of 80 bits numbered 0 through 79. 4.1.4 The bits shall be assigned as shown in the appropriate columns of figure 1 and

12、table 1. 4.1.5 Timing of the address The address shall start at the clock edge before the first address bit (bit zero). The bits shall be evenly spaced throughout the address period, and they shall fully occupy the address period, which is one frame. Consequently, the bit rate shall be 80 times the

13、frame rate in frames per second. 4.1.6 The start of the address, i.e., the clock edge before the first bit, shall coincide with the frameline at the beginning of the image to which the address refers. The tolerance of this location is +0% (in direction of film travel) and -50% of a frame length (in

14、the other direction). (Thus, the start of the address may lie anywhere in the top half of the frame with the preferred position at the frameline.) (See figure 2.) 4.2 Type B code format 4.2.1 Each motion-picture frame shall be identified by a unique and complete address. 4.2.2 The frames shall be nu

15、mbered successively 0 through 23, 24, or 29, corresponding to the frame rate being used. 4.2.3 Each address shall consist of 112 bits numbered 0 through 111. 4.2.4 The bits shall be assigned as shown in the appropriate columns of figure 1 and in table 1. 4.2.5 Boundaries of the address The block of

16、data for a single frame may be recorded anywhere within that frame except that no part of the block may occupy the region extending from the frameline to 5% of a frame length on either side of it. This region is thus a gap in the data which has a minimum length of 10% of a frame length (see figure 3

17、). 4.2.6 Bit length The length of any one bit shall not differ by more than 5% from the length of either adjacent bit. In addition, the length of no bit shall be so short as to make the recording and reproduction of the data, using practical equipment, unreliable; and the length of no series of bits

18、 may cause the total length of 112 bits to exceed 90% of frame length. RP 136-2004 Page 3 of 8 pages BIT NO. TYPE C BIT NO.

29、he dc content of the signal, a repetitive pattern of zeros and ones shall be recorded in as much of the gap area (the frameline region defined in 4.2.5) as is practical. In no case may this region contain a sync word nor may these bits, together with the second sync word of the previous frame and th

30、e first sync word of the following frame, be decodable as a valid time code word. The bit length tolerance in 4.2.6 does not apply to data in the gap. 4.3 Use of binary groups The binary groups are intended for storage of data by the users, and the 32 bits within the 8 groups may be assigned in any

31、fashion without restrictions if the character set used for the data insertion is not specified and the binary group flag bits, Nos. 43 and 59, both are zero. The binary group flag bits 43 and 59 (67 and 83 for type B code) shall be set according to the following truth table: Bit 43 (67) Bit 59 (83)

32、Character set not specified 0 0 Character set as defined in ISO/IEC 2022 1 0 Data and checksum as defined in SMPTE RP 135 0 1 Unassigned 1 1 The unassigned state of the truth table cannot be used and its assignment is reserved to the SMPTE. 4.4 Assigned and unassigned address bits Six bits are reser

33、ved within the address groups, 4 for identifying operational modes when this type of code is used for television systems (see SMPTE 12M), 1 for bi-phase correction, and 1 unassigned but reserved for future assignment and defined as zero until further specified by the SMPTE. Bit 10, type C code; bit

34、34, type B code Drop frame flag. If certain numbers are being dropped to resolve the difference between real time and color time, as defined in 5.2.2, a 1 shall be recorded. Bit 11, type C code; bit 35, type B code Color frame flag. If color frame identification has been intentionally applied, a 1 s

35、hall be recorded. Bit 27, type C code; bit 51, type B code Bi-phase mark phase correction. Shall be put in a state so that every 80- or 112-bit word will contain an even number of logic zeros. This requirement results in the following truth table for bit 27 (51): Number of logic zeros in bits 0 to 2

36、6 Type C Type B (24 to 50), and bits 28 to 63 (52 to 87) bit 27 bit 51 Odd 1 0 Even 0 1 Bits 43, 59, type C code; bits 67, 83 type B code Binary group flag bits. These two bits shall be set in accordance with the truth table specified in 4.3. RP 136-2004 Page 7 of 8 pages Bit 58, type C code; bit 82

37、, type B code Unassigned address. 0 until assigned by SMPTE. 5 Time discrepancies 5.1 When the film on which the time code is recorded is transferred from or will be transferred to television, or is otherwise used in conjunction with a 525-line/60-field television system, there may be a need to use

38、the drop frame counting mode. This clause presents pertinent definitions. 5.1.1 Real time is defined as the time elapsed during the scanning of 60 fields (or any multiple thereof) in an ideal television system at a vertical field rate of exactly 60 fields per second. 5.1.2 Color time is defined as t

39、he time elapsed during the scanning of 60 fields (or any multiple thereof) in a color television system at a vertical field rate of approximately 59.94 fields per second. 5.2 Because the vertical field rate of a color signal is approximately 59.94 fields per second, straightforward counting at 30 fr

40、ames per second (60 fields per second) will yield an error of +108 frames (+216 fields), equivalent to +3.6 seconds timing error, in one hour of running time. For correction of this time discrepancy, two methods of operation are allowed: 5.2.1 Nondrop frame uncompensated mode (30-frame code only). D

41、uring a continuous recording, no numbers shall be omitted from the chain of addresses. Each address shall be increased by 1 frame over the frame number immediately preceding it. When this mode is used, bit No. 10 (34) of each address shall be a 0 as specified in 4.4. 5.2.2 Drop frame compensated mod

42、e (30-frame code only). To resolve the color time error, the first two frame numbers (0, 1) at the start of each minute, except minutes 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50, shall be omitted from the count. When this mode is used, bit No. 10 (34) of each address shall be a 1 as specified in 4.4. 6 Structure of

43、 the address bits The basic structure of the address is based on the Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) system. Because the count, in some cases, does not rise to 9, conservation of bits is achieved because 4 bits are not needed as in an ordinary BCD code. (Bits shown in parentheses are for type B code.) 6.

47、 7.1.2 35-mm camera film The address shall be recorded in the data track whose location is specified in SMPTE RP 116. 7.1.3 16-mm film The address shall be recorded in the data track whose location is specified in SMPTE RP 114. 8 Addresses on motion-picture prints When the time code is used on final

48、 prints, the time code of the picture start frame shall be 01 hours, 00 minutes, 00 seconds, 00 frames. All frames on the reel prior to the picture start frame shall each have the time code 01 hours, 00 minutes, 00 seconds, 00 frames. If the film is longer than one reel, the picture start frame and

49、all preceding frames on the second reel shall be 02 hours, 00 minutes, 00 seconds, 00 frames. Successive reels shall be numbered likewise, with the number of hours increasing sequentially and the minutes, seconds, and frames being zero for the picture start frame. The picture start frame referred to above precedes the first frame to be projected by exactly eight seconds, as identified in SMPTE 55.
