Editing AES3 (section)

===Embedded timecode===
[[SMPTE timecode]] data can be embedded within AES3 signals. It can be used for [[synchronization]] and for logging and identifying audio content. It is embedded as a 32-bit binary word in bytes 18 to 21 of the channel status data.<ref>{{cite book |pages=226, 228 |first=John |last=Ratcliff |title=Timecode: A user's guide |publisher=Focal Press |year=1999 |isbn=0-240-51539-0}}</ref>
