Re: [Avid-L2] Rookie TC question

I believe that the rule is that the :00 and :01 address get dropped
each minute except every 10th minute. 1:00:00:00 is a tenth minute so
it is a valid TC address. So for a :30 sec spot program should start
at 1:00:00:00 and end at 1:00:30:00.

but I haven't used Drop TC in many years and only a very little before
I no longer needed to. So double check that. One way is to see if
the deck will even generate the 1:00:00:00 TC address in drop mode.
If it does then start there.
