FA-78684 / Broadcast timecode arithmetic / Member archive

Audio sample to frame cadence at 48 kHz: in-frame offset · case 04

Offsets inside NTSC frames drift across the cadence.

Member previewVariant 4 · 3 implementations · 9 checks per implementation

Case contract

At 48000 samples per second and rate N/D, the frame containing sample s is floor(s*N/(48000*D)); frame k starts at sample ceil(k*48000*D/N). Return [frame, offset of s inside its frame, number of samples in that frame].

Why this case matters

Timecode arithmetic errors misplace edits, commercial breaks and captions against the broadcast clock.
