Time-code for TV. There are 25 frames per second for standard TV in UK. P.A.L. - phase alternating line 25fps - there are 2 fields per frame. Therefore there 50 fields per second. Time-code for shoot: H  M  S   F 01:00:00:00                               01                 02                 ...                 24 Ends at 24 because the frame starts at 0.

Several Camera's - same time-code 3x SD cards - label them: A,B,C Decide before shoot what each camera is doing e.g. framing etc - wide shot, close up etc Summary...
