	== TBC Capabilities ==		== TBC Capabilities ==
	If this device has time base correction capabilities, add each TBC ~~type~~. ~~Buffer size is optional~~ but ~~useful for older units with limited correction range~~.		If this device has time base correction capabilities, add each type. Line TBC corrects timing within individual scan lines (horizontal timing). Frame synchronizer buffers a complete frame and stabilizes frame-level output timing (vertical timing), but does not necessarily correct line-level errors. A device may have one or both — dedicated TBCs like the DataVideo TBC-1000 typically do both, while built-in VCR TBCs are usually line-only and many DVD recorders/mixers are frame synchronizer-only.
