Playout schedule on-air times: inter-clip gap · case 05

The first clip airs late by the black gap.

Member previewVariant 5 · 3 implementations · 8 checks per implementation

Case contract

Clips [SOM, EOM] use non-drop labels at fps with EOM inclusive; a clip may cross midnight on tape. Clips air back to back from start with gap black frames between consecutive clips. Return the on-air label of each clip followed by the exclusive end label of the schedule, wrapping at 24 hours.

Why this case matters

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