FA-78385 / Broadcast timecode arithmetic / Member archive

Frame count to timecode label with frame pairs: pair flag · case 05

The first and second frames of each pair are labelled the wrong way round.

Member previewVariant 5 · 3 implementations · 9 checks per implementation

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.

One recorded failure
