Progressive or Interlaced
Hi guys,
This is my first post here and i' m new to HDV. I work with DV cameras and avid for post. Now i started a small production company to make promotion videos, documentary, ENG, weddings and i want to try HDV. For now i'll buy a hdv camera and i' m kind of confused. I like a lot the JVC HD200, the professional look, all the manual controls and good image quality but i' m not sure about the 720p compatibility with CRT TVs and LCDs that are not progressive. Because i want to distribute my videos in DVD and to Broadcast and in Portugal (PAL), where i' m from, we unfortunately don't have HDTV and almost everyone has interlaced TVs. Do i have to worry about this issue? Another question i have is about NLE. I start using MAC and FCP for a couple of months and i' m very happy with it so i want to continue in the MAC world. I red in a lot of posts that the JVC HD200 and FCP don't combine very well. I like the Canon XL H1 but i prefer the picture from JVC. What do you think it's the best for my interests? And a last question, is there a big diference between 25p and 50p in image quality. Sorry about all the questions but itīs a big investment to do and at the end i don't want to be dissapointed. Thanks in advance and congratulations for the great job you are doing here. |
TVs will display progressive images fine. It's not a problem. A CRT will display one half of the frame and then the other half.
Material shot on film is shown as 25p... 25 progressive frames a second. (Some is shot at 23.98 and speeded up to produce 25p). 2- Isn't the JVC footage compatible with FCP? Quote:

I also agree about the HD200 - technical matters aside, it behaves far more like a professional camera than any other 1/3" camera ergonomically. Far easier to handhold, with controls well laid out, and much easier to add peripherals like a Firestore or camera light to than a Z1 or HVX200, say. Quote:
