Framerate Framerate 24, 1 The number of frames per wallclock second, expressed as a fraction.
Drop frame DropFrame unticked If enabled, drop frame timecode will be produced.
Parameters - Blackmagic
Source Id SourceId 0 Blackmagic Device Index. This should be 0 unless you have multiple Blackmagic devices to index.
Framerate Framerate 24, 1 The number of frames per wallclock second, expressed as a fraction. The framerate should match the Blackmagic device input.
Timecode Format TimecodeFormat Auto Timecode format which should match the one used by the Blackmagic device. Choose between Auto, LTC and VITC1.
