In the wiki, we distiguish between "smpte-25" | "smpte-30" | "smpte-30-drop". In the avid cmx syntax "presence of a period in the bottom of the separator indicates NON Drop frame timecode, and presences of the comma (dropping below the line ) indicates Drop Frame timecode". So, at least a part of the avid cmx syntax is about dealing with drop frame time code or not. As for the other part of the cmx syntax which allows addressing of the interlacing fields, I guess it is necessary from an editing viewpoint what with digital interlacing formats around and such. Cheers, Silvia.
