56Selecting the Frame RateYou can select from the following frame rates depending on the recording mode:60i, 30F, 24F (2:3 pulldown-converted)60i, 30F, 24F (2:3 pulldown-converted or 2:3:3:2 pulldown-converted)60i ModeRecords in 60 fps interlaced mode, the same as TV signals.30F ModeRecords in 30 fps progressive mode and outputssignals converted into 60 fps interlaced.24F ModeRecords in 24 fps progressive mode. Duringplayback the signals are down-converted to 60 fpsinterlaced using the 2:3 pulldown method. Whilerecording, if the HDV/DV terminal is set to HDV output,the output signal will be in 24 fps progressive. The signaloutput from the HD/SD SDI terminal and theCOMPONENT OUT (D-) terminal will be down-convertedto 60 fps using the 2:3 pulldown method.Records in 24 fps progressive mode like movie cameras, creating a true cinematic feel to the picture.24F (2:3) ModeSignals are down-converted to 60 fps interlaced usingthe 2:3 pulldown method. This 24F mode is suited forplayback on a TV screen.24F (2:3:3:2) ModeSignals are down-converted to 60 fps interlaced usingthe 2:3:3:2 pulldown method. This 24F mode is idealfor extracting true 24 frames per second in order totransfer to film.HDSDA B C D E F G H I Ja a b b c c d d e e f f g g h h i i j j30F (camera)60i (tape)a a b b b c c d d d e e f f f g g h h hA B C D E F G HA B C D E F G H24F (camera)60i (tape)60i (play back)HDSDa a b b b c c d d d e e f f f g g h h hA B C D E F G H24F (camera)60i (tape)a a b b b c c c d d e e f f f g g g h hA B C D E F G H60i (tape)24F (camera)
