Important: Metro uses the 30 Frames/Second settings for both 29.97 fps and 30 fps SMPTEtimecode, since the incoming MTC quarter-frame stream supplies the timingdifference inherently. When connected to DECK, Metro derives all of its timinginformation from DECK II. If you are working with NTSC video, the timecode is mostlikely 29.97 fps SMPTE. True 30 fps SMPTE is a seldom-used format which onlyhas applications as a raw time stamp in multitrack audio or film-to-tapepulldown adjustments.
