SMPTE?

Smpte - Society of motion picture and Television Engineers.

They developed a time code to sync audio-video-film.

the time code is 24 hours and looks like this 01:12:43:12 (1 hour;12 minutes; 43 secs; 12 frames.
 
It also has a cousin called MTC Midi time code. It's the same code but with midi information included as well.;)

Shailat and John,
arent there different frame counts for different formats?
I always heard that film has one more/less frames
per second as video, and European standards are
different too. Is that right< or at least close?
 
Audio and black and white video uses 30 frames per second.

color video uses something called "drop rate". This also uses 30 frames per sec, only every 2 min. one frame is droped (except for minutes 00,10,20,30,40,50).

European time code rate (EBU) is 25 frames per sec for color and b&w.
European film uses 24 frames per sec.

Why can't we all just get along :rolleyes:
