Starting with version 1.5.0, Channel Recorder can record discontinuous TC. Sometimes it is desirable to have timecodes that are discontinuous, such as when recording a replay from any kind of sports event. This is possible by configuring Channel Recorder as follows:
discontinuous-tc: Should be configured to
trueor1.timecode-source: Should be configured as VITC or LTC.
Not all combination of codecs / containers support discontinuous TC. The following formats have been tested and confirmed to support discontinuous TC:
XAVCMXF / XAVC
DNXHDMXF / DNxHD
DVCPROMXF/ DvCPro
AVCINTRAMXF / AVCIntra100 or AVCIntra50
This feature can also be used to support DST (Daylight Saving Time) so that the timecode reflects the change of time instead of having a continuous TC.
In this case, timecode-source should be configured as time-of-day.
