…where sf:ss is the offset in sub-frames and sample steps. Sub-frames
are 1/100th of a frame, ranging from 0–99. Sample steps are divisions
of sub-frames. When the Display Type is NORMAL, their range is 0–
15. When the Display Type is SMPTE, their range depends on the
SMPTE format being used, as indicated by the five SMPTE LEDs to the
right of the LCD display: from 0–19 for 24 fps (frames per second), and
0–15 for 29.97 fps and 30 fps. When the SMPTE format is 25 fps, the
range is 0–18 every four sub-frames and 0–19 on the fifth sub-frame.

upon power-on for all tapes, since anytime the two locate points are
the same, it results in no offset.

6b. Use the Right Cursor button to advance the cursor to the two
locate point references;
6c. Use the Numeric Keypad or the UP/DOWN buttons to change the
locate number;
Note: Pressing and holding the NAME button while the cursor is
under one of the two locate numbers will cause the upper line of
the display to show the name of the locate point until the button
is released.
Important:The locate number is the only information stored for a
Locate Offset, not the locate point's address. Therefore, if the locate
point's address is changed, the tape offset will change accordingly.
7. Press the EDIT button to exit edit mode;
8. Press the TAPE OFFSET button to turn it on (its LED will be lit).
Note: If theTAPE OFFSET button is turned on and tape #1 is offset,
the BRC's Tape Position display will change to reflect the offset
