the original project frame rate.

If you select a deck or tape for your digital cut that is set for a frame rate different from the
current sequence format, a message reminds you to switch the genlock signal to match the
selected output rate and indicates the genlock changes that best match the output. Also, there
might be a slight delay in playback as the input/output hardware adjusts the frame rate.
