Is 25p output an interlaced or progressive signal?
I'm asking because I'm considering buying a Dell 2407 monitor and it does not accept 1080i signals via DVI, but it does accept 1080p!
So if 25p footage on the V1 is in fact recognised as a progressive signal then I'm fine, otherwise it will not work. I don't know because of the way the 25p is pulled from a 50i stream. Does anyone know the answer? |

I don't know about you Dell model, but with my Fujitsu-Siemens monitor I have 2 options: - component 1080i/1080p compatible input - DVI which is of course a progressive kind of input, but since you cannot connect the camera to this, I only play clips from the HDD using it - both interlaced and progressive. So you should be fine, unless you're going to use a HDMI->DVI cable and connect the camera directly do DVI input of the monitor, in which case... I don't know! Please keep us posted about the results. |

The V1 is not capable of outputing or recording a progressive image as the progressive signal from the chips are converted to interlace before any output or recording takes place, so the 25p image is packaged in a 50i stream in your case as you have indicated. Thus, you would need a monitor with a de-interlacer. Incidently, an older model, the Dell 2405, had a de-interlacer, however; the 2407 does not. Also, as a side note, an HDMI signal easily converts to DVI. The only difference between the two is size of the connectors and embedded audio with HDMI; DVI cannot pass audio. HDMI is specifically geared for Television, so TVs with this connector are furnished with a de-interlacer. If a TV or monitor did not have a de-interlacer, then HDMI like DVI would not be able to handle interlace. |
