Example 2
To sync to something with a timecode of 1hr 45 min 0 sec 0 fr:
Use the Out Frame to set a positive offset. To calculate this value, round up to the nearest
hour. With the above example, the time code is 15 minutes before timecode 2hr.
So our positive offset is (15min * 60 * 25) = 22500
Set the In Frame value to 0 and the Out Frame value to 22500.
Note: The above examples are calculated with PAL settings of 25fps. When using
NTSC 30fps change the frame rate value of the formula from 25 to 30.
