CLEANER DVD VCD??. - "Perry"


From: Crazyhorse Pictures
Hi Dave. THANKS for that. Trying to teach an old cameraman new
tricks!:-) . My only problem now is to try to find the PAL DVD formats
specifications!?. Searched the net but nothing!. I reallise the frame
rate will be 25fps but whats the resolution?. VCD (pal) is 352 x 288??.
Or does it matter??.

>What is Apple thinking? Ya, not everyone can take a week off to take
advantage of this sort of offer, but this sort of action give
creedence to the line of thought that Apple's not too concerned with
FCP pirated because every pirated version must run on a Power Mac. So
I guess the Mac is the dongle.<
This theory doesn't tie in with Apple's failure to offer FCP2 discounted
with a G4 purchase, or offered to OEM deals for discounted sales with video
boards like the Matrox RTMac. At least that is the situation here in PAL
land.

Interlaced video - "Perry"


I think you have slightly confused things Steve!
All current camera CCDs (excepting Philips broadcast) do in fact always
capture progressive scan. The output is then modified by averaging line
pairs as we have previously explained. There is nothing to stop a
manufacturer from NOT doing the line pair trick, and then missing out
alternate fields and using the full scan first field as the frame. It would
lose sensitivity (a stop) and gain noise (3dB) but it would work fine. It
would look 'different' to what we are used to (OK Adam?) and I know of no
manufacturer that has chosen to do this on a prosumer type camera.
The only real movie benefit would be for transfer to 35mm film or a full
progressive video system.
In practice I suspect the line pair trick is locked into the CCD chip set,
and it is therefore impossible to avoid without a fundamental redesign.

Progressive Scan In 16:9 Cameras. - "Perry"


From: Edoardo Nolfo
Does anybody know whether the JVC DV700 16:9 camcorder has true progressive
scan at 25 fps (i.e. with no interpolation)? I have seen a TV show that was
broadcast live with 16:9 cameras and its resemblance to the feel of film was
amazing: how did they do it? Does this camera have any other useful
"filmlook" settings?

From: Stephen van Vuuren
Is what you and Perry describing similar to overcranking the sharpness
setting in AE or similar program? What I don't quite understand is why
progressive recording in of itself causes "twitter". It must be frame rate
depedendent as well. Will 60P images "twitter"?

The true 30fps on the 1-chip Canons appears to use dual-line readout just like
interlaced mode; switching between interlaced and proscan while shooting a
static resolution test chart shows no visible change in the picture. Therefore
the image is vertically filtered to reduce twitter.
> Even the 24P off the CineAlta was watchable despite the flicker.
Because the line structure is so much finer, the visibility of twitter may be
lowered. I do not know what vertical filtering (dual-line readout or other
processing) is used in the CineAlta; I haven't had the luxury of doing tests
on it. You wouldn't have one I could borrow, would you? ;-)

Grab yourself a DSR-300 or DSR-500WS, stick it on a tripod, and toggle between
normal shutter and EVS mode (enhanced vertical sharpness). Or get a PD150 or
VX2000, lock it down on a tripod, and go between proscan and interlaced. if
you have any crisp, fine, contrasty vertical details (i.e., thin bright
horizontal lines) in the image, you'll see them twitter at 30 Hz. The brighter
and more contrasty your display, the more the twitter jumps out at you.
"Unwatchable" is a relative concept. It's flickery compared to interlace, but
if all you watch is proscan on an interlaced display, it becomes part of the
look, just like the 48Hz flicker from a 24p segmented-field HDCAM output.
Cheers,
Adam Wilt
