VITC matches the LTC, and describes the current frame.

in tape based editing the out point is exclusive. To check this just make a
standard EDL and start checking the numbers. The TC information is held in
the vertical interval of the frame. The vertical interval precedes the
video information. The trigger for the computer (video deck or deck
controller) to execute the event is when it reads the TC. So you enter the
TC information that follows the video frame you want to be your last frame
of the event.
