HPX170P & Firestore

Eric Jordan · October 13th, 2010, 10:29 PM

Hey all,

I'm using a Panasonic HPX-170p and a Firestore unit to capture video. I'll shooting my footage at 24p....however, whenever I try to record to the firestore unit, the quicktime files that it outputs show up as 720/60p. Anyone know why this is?

sounds like your firestore doesn't support 24PN.

The HPX170 doesn't stream 24pN over firewire. You have to be in 24P mode, and that's means it's transmitted (and recorded) in a 60p stream with a 2:3 pulldown (repeated frames).

If you're using the FS-100, you set the DV Format to either "P2 PN" or "Quicktime PN" mode and it will strip out the extra frames from the stream as it records.
