DUAL RATE TIMECODE
A feature of the Fusion allows it to sync to one timecode frame-rate and record another. For instance, you can
input 23.98 timecode from an HD camera and record 29.97 timecode derived from it. The two frame-rates will
be in perfect sync matching up at frame one of each second. Fusion will hold perfect timecode sync even when
cycling power. Many other timecode clocks can gain or lose a frame each time power is cycled.
