FA-78377 / Broadcast timecode arithmetic / Member archive
Frame count to timecode label with frame pairs: pair notation threshold · case 02
Plain 30 fps labels are printed in frame-pair notation.
Case contract
Convert a frame count (any integer, wrapped modulo 24 hours) to HH:MM:SS:FF. For fps above 30 the frame field counts frame pairs (frame//2) and the last separator is "." for the second frame of a pair and ":" otherwise.
Why this case matters
Timecode arithmetic errors misplace edits, commercial breaks and captions against the broadcast clock.
