23.98 to 59.94 conversion.

No. People who do these output conversions should know when to start the tape. Talk to them about this. I deal with a company that knows what to do to get the show to start at 1:00:00;00 on the tapes. Because this practice of 23.98 to 29.97 outputs is common.

Or is that the issue? They want YOU to time it so that when it hits 1:00;00;00 on the tape output that’s when picture starts? I’ve never had to try to plan that…the tape op always did this. GOOD tape ops know what to do.

Got it. That’s basically what I wanted to know. Thanks so much for help!

It is when I read posts like this that I am so glad I work in UK Broadcast. 25P or 50i is usually as complicated as it gets.
I am always slightly confused by the drop frame non drop frame pull down and diverse frame rates you guys deal with everyday.
I have delivered shows to Nat Geo and History Channel US on HDCam SR but always have to get a tape op to double check my workflow when I do.best wishes

Recently I found a nice website for timecode calculation. Wouldn’t you know…https://www.timecodecalculator.com/
I’ve been using it at work. It doesn’t assume you want to always start at hour 1, so you can start at 0, or hour 10, or 57:30:00 if you really are in a pinch for your head format.
Really helpful site.
