timecode: Generally refers to the industry standard of SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) timecode, which is formatted as four numbers separated by colons (e.g., 21:52:31:20). The numbers represent hours, minutes, secondes, and frames, and are added to video to enable precise editing. Since color video runs at 29.97 fps [frames per second] instead of 30 fps, two kinds of timecode have evolved: drop-frame and non-drop-frame. 3, record 1, English, - cue%20channel
