• “Time code not found” error message
• The time code on your clip is offset by a few seconds
• Recorded clips begin with a wrong time code
The reason for this is fairly basic. If you choose a time code of 01:00:00:00 for the starting
point, Adobe Premiere may interpret this value depending on the format of the digitized video
as shown below:
• NTSC (NDF time code) 108,000 frames
• NTSC (DF time code) 107,892 frames
• PAL 90,000 frames
Adobe Premiere has the ability of displaying the time code of your clip and monitor
windows in different ways, some of which may be confusing. In turn, this may lead to
errors if you attempt to calibrate your time code discrepancy or to manually enter a batch
capture list. Adobe Premiere allows you to adapt the time format of the monitor or clip
window. However, this does not affect the video recording window. This is a general
setting that does not change automatically when you load a clip with a different format.
The fact that the time base of a clip can also be displayed incorrectly makes it difficult to
determine the time code format of a clip. If you wish to determine the actual time code
format of a clip, you must call up “Properties for command” from the File menu while the
clip in question is displayed in the monitor or the clip window. Refer to the Adobe
Premiere User Manual information on this topic in the Adobe Premiere manual.
Serial Port Device Control
When TARGA 3000 was installed on your computer, a plug-in called Pipeline ProVTR
™
,
manufactured by Pipeline Digital
®
, was installed by the TARGA software into the
“plug-ins” folder of your video-editing application. TARGA 3000 accesses commands
provided by Pipeline ProVTR, and transmits those commands as RS-422 data down the
serial cable to the tape deck.
This sections provides information on the settings specific to ProVTR for configuration.
A general description of device control can be found in your video-editing application’s
user guide. Detailed information on using ProVTR can be found in Pipeline Digital’s
“Pipeline ProVTR User Guide,” which has been included on the TARGA 3000 CD-ROM
as an Adobe Acrobat .pdf file.
