IEC 60461 pdf download Time and control code for video tape recorders
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies a digital time and control code for use in television, film,and accompanying audio systems operating at 30, 25,and 24 frames per second.
Clauses 4,5, and 6 specify the manner in which time is represented in frame-based systems.Clause 7 describes the structure of the time address and control bits of the code,and setsguidelines for storage of user data in the code.Clause 8 specifies the modulation method andinterface characteristics of a linear time code (LTC) source. Clause 9 specifies the modulationmethod for inserting the code into the vertical interval of a television signal. Clause 10summarizes the relationship between the two forms of time and control code.

3Definitions
For the purpose of this International Standard, the following definitions apply:
3.1
linear time code (LTC)
linear time code modulation system (previously referred to as the longitudinal track applicationof time and control code)
3.2
vertical interval time code (vITC)
modulation system used to insert the time code signal in the vertical blanking interval of atelevision signal
3.3
source
any device which generates a time and control code signal, or regenerates a time and controlcode signal from a recorded medium or transmission channel
An original source refers specifically to the device which is generating the time and controlcode signal.
3.4
binary coded decimal(BCD) system
means for encoding decimal numbers as groups of binary bits. Each decimal digit (0-9) isrepresented by a unique four-bit code. The four bits are weighted with the digit’s decimalweight multiplied by successive powers of two
