Hi everyone, I made a search on this forum and on Google, but I wasn't able to find an answer. I've been wondering for a while why all recent (and not-so-recent) cameras that are able to perfectly record 1920x1080 or 3840x2160 progressive footage at 25 frames in camera, will only output 50i interlaced from the HDMI out.
I've seen this limitation on EX1R, Z150, Z190, Z280 that my company owns. All those cameras (except the EX1R) can output 1920x1080 25P from the SDI connection.
It's not a massive problem, but when using HDMI wireless transmitters to a mixer set up on 25P, it all needs to be deinterlaced to 25P.
To sum it up (on Sony Z150):
Camera recording in 1920x1080 25P
- SDI out : 25P
- HDMI out : 50i - why?
Camera recording in 1920x1080 50P
- SDI out : 50P
- HDMI out : 50P
Is this a limitation of how the progressive scan is achieved on Sony cameras? Or am I missing a combination of settings that allows me to output 1920x1080 25P from the HDMI? I did take a look at the manual and Doug's video on the Z280 but I wasn't able to find an answer.
Cheers
