Vertical Interval TimeCode
The Vertical Interval TimeCode (VITC, pronounced "vit-si") is a time coding with a time stamp ( timecode ) for magnetic tape recording . So z. B. each image of a video recording can be addressed to later z. B. to be found by an editing device. The time code is (engl. In the vertical blanking interval vertical interval ) of a video image recorded. This means that this timecode cannot be edited afterwards and can only be recorded at the same time as the video. The advantage of VITC is that it can also be read out at slow belt speeds or when the belt is at a standstill. The LTC can be used for higher belt speeds .
