Here are some basic Black & White XLH1 clips in 24P HD. Sorry there not like the other B&W shots. I was very short for time to grab these. So there very run and gun. I am going to get better stuff in the next few days when time permits.

Im new to this website. You have some great 24f clips. I was wondering what the quality of the other frame rate are like for documentaries. Is there any possibility you can post them. Thank you.
 
I have never shot in anything other than 24. I remember when I got the DVX back in 2002. I noticed that I shot about 15seconds of 60i, and that was an accident. If I do any 30P, I will post that. However 60interlace B&W, yuck! 60P well, that might be interesting..... Let me see what I can do! I will let you know when I post new clips after a shoot!

I like 60i, given a good 1080i monitor to view the material on. It's obviously not ideal to view on progressive displays that don't properly convert the footage. Almost no one enjoys interlace combing artifacts, but given the right display I think it's got it's own reality look that all the "filmmakers" too easily dismiss. Yes, progressive is what all moving pictures should ultimately be, but with what we have now, especially in the XL-H1, is an amazing amount of flexibility for different looks.

Celticman, I think you might really like 50i from the H1. It's even better for PAL folks because converting to DVCPRO HD (1440x1080) for editing gives you even more resolution than the 60hz DVCPRO HD (1280x1080). Also, 50hz material is realistic enough, yet not overly so, as some think 60i/p can be. To me, it's all good because you get such amazing resolution and quality whether shooting 24/25F or 50/60i.

I personally find value in higher temporal resolution. It ain't for everyone, but I like a lot of docs I see on Discovery HD and HDNET that are 1080i. They're hyper-real, and that can be an interesting thing. I think it all depends on how crisp and realistic you want your footage to look. If you want that so-called cinematic, slightly abstracted from reality look of film, 24/25F is for you. If you want extra details and hyper-clarity, 1080i can be amazing.

Thanks.I have'nt bought the camera yet.I just wanted to see what the other frame rates were like for lets say sports coverage etc for example. I just wanted to see if it was acceptable broadcast quality. If im making docs, I hope to interview people in the other frame rates and reinact historical footage etc in the 24f.If the other frame rates are'nt up to scratch, will I need a different camera or will the xl-h1 scrape by.Thank you.
 
Hi Elton.Just read your post after I replied to PappasArts. As you can see, I'm determined to make sure I have the right camera for docs.60i for interviews and 24f for reinacting events. I'm just wondering if there is any problem editing or combining the seperate frame rates onto one dvd
 
I've had no problem combining 24F and 60i. In PAL land, it should be even easier as there are no pulldown issues to consider.

Discovery HD docs do that technique all the time. 24p for re-enactments and 60i for interviews. Pretty good formula, IMHO.

Your DVD will be probably be standard 50i in order to accomadate both types of material.
