TOPIC This article discusses frame accuracy with DV and FireWire.
DISCUSSION
DV and FireWire are not frame accurate device control protocols. This can mean that when you capture a clip it may capture several frames early or late. The Timecode numbers will still match the frames of the media (if properly calibrated). Also, when performing an Edit to Tape function, the edit may take place a few frames earlier or later. To get frame accurate control you must have a video deck which supports a device control protocol such as RS-422, or RS-232.
