Le principe du time-code est de numéroter chaque image grâce à un bloc de 80 bits représentant l'instant de la prise de vues ou de l'enregistrement. Ce time-code indique, à l'aide d'un codage BCD («Binary Coded Decimal»), l'heure (sur 24 heures), la minute, la seconde et le numéro d'image sous la forme : 14 h 12 min 28 s 13 im. Divers bits de contrôle et de service complètent ce signal. 2, record 1, French, - code%20temporel%20longitudinal
