Jim Feldspar Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I got to use an HVX-200 for an hour yesterday to shoot some tests on location of a scene for an unpcoming project. We're going to shoot HD but yesterday I didn't have a P2 card so I shot 480 24P which still was helpful with the 16x9 frame. However, there are two HD televisions in the scene that will be in some shots. I was told that one is 1080i and that one looked okay. The other, probably 1080 but don't know yet, had the same lines that you see in old shows where t.v.s were shot on film. I want to shoot 720P. When I go there, will being in 720 make a difference as to whether the second monitor still has those bars? At 24P, the shutter speed is 1/24. Should I change that or what can I do?

Jonathan Bowerbank Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 The differing resolutions between the HDTV's and the 720p camera shouldn't make for any issues. Search the forums to find out solutions for setting your camera so as to prevent flicker/lines on the TV screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Irwin Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Sounds like you just need to ride the Syncro Scan function. Go into the Scene File menu and change the syncro scan setting until the black bars disappear. Film Cam or Video Cam mode- doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Search the forums to find out solutions for setting your camera so as to prevent flicker/lines on the TV screen. I'll keep searching but all that turned up was ways to simulate the flicker from an offscreen t.v.. Searches like correcting for or eliminating flicker, etc. didn't turn up anything. Sounds like you just need to ride the Syncro Scan function. Go into the Scene File menu and change the syncro scan setting until the black bars disappear. Film Cam or Video Cam mode- doesn't matter. Sounds good. It will be interesting to see if/ how the 24P at 1/48th look is affected but it probably depends on how much of a change is required. Thanks.

Shouldn't be very noticeable unless you have a lot of quick or jumpy movement in frame with the TV. As long as you match exposure to the non syncro scan footage (use zebras / marker), it should be invisible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the t.v. is likely going to be in a couple of shots only and even then a small part of the frame except for maybe two quick shots. Thanks.
