Film mode - Progressive scan
Matrox and Mac


Film mode - Progressive scan - Perry Mitchell


There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding around about exactly what
progressive scan actually is!
All current consumer ccd chips operate a progressive 'scan' for each field,
but all current consumer cameras use an interlaced recording format. The
manufacturers normally process the progessive field scans to average line
pairs (rather than discarding the unused lines) since this increases
sensitivity, reduces noise, and removes any interlace twitter due to
excessive vertical resolution. Such (analog) processing is an inherent part
of the ccd chip set and cannot easily be changed. The broadcast cameras
have more control due to use of multiple mode processing with menu
selection.
I know that Sony have experimented with 'Film mode' pseudo progressive scan
but have apparently found the vertical aliasing (twitter) unacceptable. Now
such twitter disappears when the video is converted to progressive scan
(such as film) or viewed on a line or field doubling device, but this is
hardly a basis for designing a mass market consumer product.
Canon have a complicated processing scheme partly necessary due to it's use
of interleaved ccd sensors to increase apparent resolution. This presumably
limits vertical resolution to a level where twitter is not a problem.


Matrox and Mac - "Perry"

I've been thinking about purchasing the Matrox RD2000 card, but can't find
any documentation about if it works with MAC or not. Anyone out there tried
this?
Also, I would mainly be using this for editing purposes, and using it for
display a little bit. Any ideas on if this is a good solution or not, or am
I barking up the wrong tree here?
Can anyone recommend net resources for DVD authoring? I'm looking for
material that does a good job of explaining the process without a lot of
marketing hype and
"solutions."
Thanks
