Tctc

TcTC is a timecode converter and calculator application. Timecodes, edgecodes and framecounts can be converted into several other formats simultaneously. The basic math operations can be performed on these timecodes. The supported TC formats are PAL, NTSC Drop, NTSC Non-Drop, HD/Film 24p, 35mm, 16mm20, 16mm40, framecount, as well as TC and EC formats with freely selectable framerates (currently between 1 and 100 fps/fpe). An offset management system deals with situations in which timecodes have changed due to transfers. If the same frame that originated on a piece of film and is identified there by an edgecode is transferred to, say, two different tapes and ends up there having two entirely unrelated timecodes, TcTC offers a method of establishing a relation between these different, essentially arbitrary edgecodes and timecodes and thus allows you to keep track of the footage in the various places. TcTC requires a Macintosh with a PPC processor and MacOS 8.5 or higher.
