abeh.. ah... ehh. umm.... Yeah. Woo, I have no idea. I am sure many are googling away, but that is just wierd. The bottom right stuff is foreign to me. I am assuming the top and bottom left are a master and a slave timecode. One for the "final print", and the other being for the current take and/or angle??? The x on the top having something to do with the compensation for difference in time of 29.97 and 30 for example??? Either that or... If you don't mind telling what you do know about it. I don't know anything about that stuff beyond hours: minutes: seconds: frames
I don' kno' nutting about dat stuff.
 
I haven't done a telecine in a while, so I'm rusty on which is which, but the bottom right is KeyKode (Kodak's "timecode" that's imprinted on film). The "K" indicates Kodak, the 69 0991 is the film roll identifier, the 8701+09 is basically an individual frame identifier (every key frame is marked so the 8701 = the key frame group, then each individual frame is counted after the key frame so you're looking at frame +09 in the 8701 group; I don't know what the B1/2 signifies offhand.

EDIT: DOH, Jason beat me to it!
