5.0 out of 5 stars Not much written about timecode, June 18, 2007

This review is from: Timecode A User's Guide, Third Edition (Paperback)

I professionally work in the field of computer based digital video and know that there simply isn't much written about timecode. This book is a great reference, I have used it to successfully implement VITC and LTC encoders/decoders in software, timecode math libraries and the like. This is the book I refer to and recommend when these often confusing topics arise. I have used the first two editions but have not seen the third. I hope it adds more information about digital production.
