Match session video frame rate to external timecode | +
+ This option controls the value of the video frame rate while
+ chasing an external timecode source. When enabled, the
+ session video frame rate will be changed to match that of the selected
+ external timecode source. When disabled, the session video frame rate
+ will not be changed to match that of the selected external timecode
+ source. Instead the frame rate indication in the main clock will flash
+ red and Ardour will convert between the external timecode standard and
the session standard.

Lock to 29.9700 fps instead of 30000/1001 | +
+ The external timecode source is assumed to use 29.97 fps instead of
+ 30000/1001. SMPTE 12M-1999 specifies 29.97df as 30000/1001. The spec
+ further mentions that drop-frame timecode has an accumulated error of -86ms
+ over a 24-hour period. Drop-frame timecode would compensate exactly for a
+ NTSC color frame rate of 30 * 0.9990 (ie 29.970000). That is not the actual
+ rate. However, some vendors use that rate—despite it being against
+ the specs—because the variant of using exactly 29.97 fps has zero
timecode drift.
