Kenn Christenson Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 There would be no "pulldown" in the case of 25P. All you'd do in final cut is set up a sequence to 25fps and field dominance to "none" and you should be ready to start cutting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member John Sprung Posted January 3, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted January 3, 2008 Clearly, you don't know what we're talking about with all this "Sony" stuff. Panasonic DOES NOT use the Sony method on encoding 24P into a 1080i stream and if you used the terminology"1080p24/Sf" or "1080p25/Sf" you would truly confuse the post production people trying to work with the footage you shot with a PANASONIC CAMERA. I resent being talked down to by someone who clearly doesn't know a thing about how Panasonic's DVCProHD cameras produce their high def footage. Kenn, I apologise. This being strictly about the HVX200, you were right, I was wrong. Everywhere else in digital motion imaging, though, i's and p's don't mix. -- J.S.

Adamo P Cultraro Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 John - I've read many of your posts in the past. You're a great resource here. It takes a big man to admit he was wrong and I respect you more for that. Yes, I'm serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Bill Totolo Posted January 6, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted January 6, 2008 It's probably a pain in the neck but like so many people post lens comparison tests on this sight and others, would someone like to post a comparison of the HVX's 720P performance next to it's 1080i? Would you be able to see the difference on an LCD monitor? Maybe it could be posted in HD on Vimeo.com? I know I'd be interested in a side by side comparison, seems there's so much conjecture.

Bassem Fayad Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 Dear All . I have come a a conclusion. The camera has a chip which only records 1280x720 pixels in progressive scan. The 1080i image is produced by calculation inside the camera. This setting was probably created mainly for news people who need to deliver 1080i directly. For a film out it makes more sense to record in 720p/25p as this represents the original quality and therefore the strength of the camera. do you agree ?

The 1080i image is produced by calculation inside the camera. IIRC, this is a three chip camera, with chips that have 960 x 540 photosites. So, both 720p and 1080i would be the result of calculations done by the camera. -- J.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The image is really a little bit sharper and has less compression than the 720p image. Just go out and test it for yourself, it is a fact and arguing about technical specs etc. doesn't change anything about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the benefit of those here who are not following the same discussion over on DVXUser. http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showpost.php?p=1...mp;postcount=27 Apparently the 'native' resolution for the camera is 1080. Note, not the actual chip size, rather the resolution at which the dsp works. Yes/No anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Lindsay Mann Posted January 11, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted January 11, 2008 Man, I don't know what you're talking about regarding confusion and misinformation on the topic.... :rolleyes: I've shot both 720 and 1080 with the HVX and find 1080 noticeably sharper and richer. Just means you need more drives on set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassem Fayad Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 hey friends sorry it took some time for the test results to come out . after shooting with both 720NP AND 1080i/25p modes , and printing out to film with both Arri laser and CRT , i can say that 1080i/25p is slightly better ... we should be shooting in one month . thank you all , c u later . much love and peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
