Abstract
When converting a predetermined time code into another time code in a different format while increasing or decreasing a count value for one second corresponding to the format of the time code thus converted, first of all, a time codewhich has not been converted is read in a frame pulsecorresponding to a time codeobtained after the conversion so that intermediate data' are generated. Next, an overlapping count value generated in the intermediate data′ is corrected to add a continuity, thereby generating the time codeafter the conversion.
