The video tech one of my startups made was to enable "On-Set Video Playback" exactly like this in a bunch of movies and TV shows. We didn't make the product for that purpose and only learned this was a thing when a playback company contacted us asking for a change in the firmware to enable external synchronization to a 48fps source clock. Since it wasn't a difficult change and the application was neat, we made a custom version for them. That's how I got to know some of the people who do this work and even got to visit some movie and TV sets. So, based on that, I'll share some insight relating to TFA.
