Using the Timecode Displays
 
There are four timecode displays in the top-right corner of the Media pane. The information displayed depends on whether you are in Asset mode or Output mode, and the options you select.
If you are playing an Interplay MAM audio asset, the timecode displays milliseconds instead of frames (for example, 00:01:05:243).

Description

Master, Absolute, Clip, Remain, Duration
Master: In Asset mode, displays timecode for the selected frame that corresponds to the original (source) timecode for the asset. In Output mode, displays timecode for the selected frame that corresponds to the timecode of the sequence.
Absolute: Displays timecode for the selected frame that is offset from the first frame of the asset or sequence (time elapsed).
Clip: (MediaCentral UX v2.8 and later) In Output mode, displays timecode for the selected frame that corresponds to the original (source) timecode of the clip in the loaded sequence. This feature is especially useful when logging sequences. The following illustration shows the display for a sequence loaded in Output mode, with Clip selected.
You can also select Clip for a clip loaded in Asset mode, but this is less useful because in Asset mode the master timecode and the clip timecode are identical.
Remain: Displays timecode for the selected frame that is offset from the last frame of the asset or sequence (time remaining).
Duration: (MediaCentral UX v2.8 and later) Displays the total duration of a loaded asset in either Asset mode or Output mode.The following illustration shows the display for an asset loaded in Asset mode. Note that if you select Duration, the Mark In and Mark Out displays show the master timecode.
The following illustration shows the display for a sequence loaded in Output mode. Note that the smaller display also shows the duration of the sequence.
*If you select Duration, you cannot enter a timecode or a frame-offset value to cue a specific frame.
