"It is impossible to read frame numbers continuously in real-time play mode" (p. 103, PV-S98A User's Manual) --> essentially, the time-code is incremented by seconds, and you can move to a specified code location (ie: 19876) and then to a specific frame within that code location (frames: 0-29) ... it is not, however, exactly frame accurate... it's +/- 1 frame... so, it's essentially not what you need <grin> ... the Panasonic industrial-grade decks do support SMPTE, though, with the addition of the SMPTE module... :> and i have no available info on whether or not you can read the SMPTE in real-time, but it'd be a good guess that you could, with a DiaQuest, or ARTi, or similar controller... > Thanks in advance, no problem.... it's what i'm here for :> -- USES disclaim; |^^\/^^| 2 Tripp Lilley -- tlilley@csugrad.cs.vt.edu | |\/| | The MultiMedia Lab of the Colleges of Architecture and Engineering |_| |_| Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (silly ASCII logo)
