Question 1

Most video metadata is automatically generated in the camera or through the use of software.

Accepted Answer

Most video metadata such as date, time, camera settings, and location can be automatically generated by the camera or through the use of software. However, some metadata such as tags, captions, and descriptions may be manually added by the user.

Question 2

Working with time-coded video ensures that a specific video frame can be accessed using the same timecode number over and over again with complete accuracy.

Accepted Answer

Timecode is a standardized way of labeling every frame in a video with a unique number, making it easy to locate specific moments in the footage. Working with time-coded video allows for precise editing and automation of processes, as every frame can be accessed with complete accuracy using its corresponding timecode number.

Question 3

A 30 fps video timecode is represented by the numbers between 01 and 30.

Accepted Answer

A 30 fps video timecode ranges from 00 to 29, as there are 30 frames per second.

Question 4

The solution for dealing with the slightly slower frame rate of color video was the creation of non-drop-frame time code.

Accepted Answer

The solution for dealing with the slightly slower frame rate of color video (specifically NTSC video, which runs at 29.97 frames per second) was the creation of drop-frame timecode, not non-drop-frame timecode. Drop-frame timecode skips certain frame numbers to compensate for the difference and keep the timecode in sync with the actual time.

Question 5

Metadata on the web contains descriptions of the web&#10;A) time code&#10;B) metatags&#10;C) user bits&#10;D) all the above

Accepted Answer

Metatags are used in HTML to provide information about the web page that is not visible to the user, such as keywords, description, and author. Time code and user bits are not commonly used in metadata on the web.

Question 6

The original timecode format consisted of a digital signal recorded as a&#10;A) Longitudinal&#10;B) Linear&#10;C) LTC&#10;D) all of the above

Accepted Answer

The original timecode format consisted of a digital signal that could be described as longitudinal (recorded along the length of the tape), linear (in a straight line), and LTC (Linear Time Code), making all of the options correct.

Question 7

This format of timecode is recorded as visual digital information in the vertical interval part of the analog video signal.&#10;A) Longitudinal&#10;B) Linear&#10;C) VITC&#10;D) both A & B

Accepted Answer

VITC (Vertical Interval Timecode) is specifically recorded in the vertical interval part of the analog video signal. Longitudinal and Linear timecode formats are not recorded in this way. Therefore, choice C is the best answer.

Question 8

The types of metadata described in the text include .&#10;A) Structural&#10;B) Descriptive&#10;C) Administrative&#10;D) all of the above

Accepted Answer

The text mentions and describes all three types of metadata, which are structural, descriptive, and administrative. Therefore, the best answer is D, which includes all three types.

Question 9

Timecode that can be displayed as numbers over the visual images is&#10;A) Vertical Interval Time Code&#10;B) Visual Time Code&#10;C) Longitudinal Time Code&#10;D) Non-Drop-Frame Time Code

Accepted Answer

Visual Time Code is displayed as numbers over the visual images. Vertical Interval Time Code is embedded into the signal itself and is not displayed as numbers. Longitudinal Time Code is recorded onto the tape and is not displayed as numbers. Non-Drop-Frame Time Code is a format used for synchronization and does not necessarily include visual display of the timecode.
