Gearslutz.com - View Single Post - THE definitive explanation of 29.97 and 23.98 timecode

As luck would have it... I'm coming up on this issue this week. We have HDCam masters at 23.98, and are transfering to 29.97 NDF for post (thankfully) and will never be in drop. Our JH-3 play deck can do the pulldown (we do it with the deck instead of FCP) with either DF or NDF (so those of you using this deck be careful) - but a nice feature is it will display the original timecode and the pulldown timecode burn at the same time. I don't think our HDW-500 can do that.
