- The 5000 was introduced _before_ RC time code. What I think you are refering
- to is the 16 line TBC that is in the 5000.

-
- RC time code stores the Date and Time the tape was produced _and_ the frame
- number of each frame from the start of the tape in H:MM:SS:FF format. It
- records this information in the section of the 8mm/Hi8mm tape reserved for
- index marks. These are the index marks the EV-S550, EV-S900, and EV-S3000 can
- record on a tape.
-
- What it buys you is with a VISCA VTR (CVD-1000) or a V801 used with a VISCA
- Vbox or a RM-E700 LANC edit controller is frame acturate edits (+/- 2 frames).
- My new Ev2 VISCA software claims 100% frame acturate edits after I setup
- pre-roll adjustments - time will time.
