At speeds less than 0.25 play Longitudinal Time Code (LTC) will be used if
it can be read. At these slow speeds if LTC is not found but Vertical Interval
Time Code (VITC) is available, VITC will be used. At speeds greater than
0.25 play, VITC will be used if it can be read. At these higher speeds if VITC
is not found but LTC is available, LTC will be used. At any speed, if neither
LTC or VITC is readable, Corrected LTC will be used, which is the last good
LTC time corrected by the tape timer.
