SMPTE timecode signal (A logic value 1 is expressed by a transition at the midpoint of a period. A logic value 0 is expressed by the absence of such a transition.) compared to the outwardly-similar Manchester code (A logic value 0 is expressed by a high-to-low transition, a logic value 1 by low-to-high transition at the midpoint of a period).
