I've been working with the HVX for a good two years, and now the hpx, but this question has always boggled me for some reason.

The HVX and HPX use progressive imagers right? And they execute a recording in 1080i/24p by first recording 24 frames then deviding the frames into fields for 2:3 pulldown?

So just to be sure, the two fields comprising one frame were not taken 1/60th of a second from eachother like 1080/60i, but rather come from one progressive frame just devided into fields?

So if you remove 2:3:3:2 pulldown in post from 24pA footage, you should see NO interlaced artifacts whatsoever, because the reconstructed frames are fully progressive, as they were when they were first captured before being devided into an interlaced stream?

As you can see, I just need some clarification.

Because I'm doing an interview for a client where top resolution was requested, so I'm considering moving to 24pA and not using 720p24pN like normal.

Yes your understanding is correct. 1080/24pA (with pulldown removed) will look exactly like 720/24pN, but sharper and with less compression. No interlacing, proper 24p film-like motion, progressive scanning, everything.

Thanks Barry, I don't think you understand the help you've been to me.
I read your HPX book almost everyday. I have re-read it probably 30 times. It's such a great help.
