/** @file ltc.h @brief libltc - en+decode linear timecode Linear (or Longitudinal) Timecode (LTC) is an encoding of timecode data as a Manchester-Biphase encoded audio signal. The audio signal is commonly recorded on a VTR track or other storage media. libltc facilitates decoding and encoding of LTC from/to timecode, including SMPTE date support. @author Robin Gareus @copyright Copyright (C) 2006-2014 Robin Gareus Copyright (C) 2008-2009 Jan Weiß Inspired by SMPTE Decoder - Maarten de Boer This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

These bits indicate the frame boundary, the tape direction, and the bit-rate of the sync tone. * The values of these Bits are fixed as 0011 1111 1111 1101 * * The Bi-Phase Mark Phase Correction Bit (Bit 27 or 59) may be set or cleared so that that every 80-bit word * contains an even number of zeroes. This means that the phase of the pulse train in every Sync Word will be the same. * * Bit 10 indicates drop-frame timecode. * The Colour Frame Flag col.frm is Bit 11; if the timecode intentionally synchronized to a colour TV field sequence, this bit is set. * * Bit 58 is not required for the BCD count for HOURS-TENS (which has a maximum value of two) * and has not been given any other special purpose so remains unassigned. * This Bit has been RESERVED for future assignment. * * The Binary Group Flag Bits (bits 43 and 59) are two bits indicate the format of the User Bits data. * SMPTE 12M-1999 defines the previously reserved bit 58 to signals that the time is locked to wall-clock * within a tolerance of ± 0.5 seconds. * * SMPTE 12M-1999 also changes the numbering schema of the BGF. (BGF1 was renamed to BGF2 and bit 58 becomes BGFB1) * * To further complicate matters, the BGFB assignment as well as the biphase_mark_phase_correction (aka parity) * bit depends on the timecode-format used. * *
