As shown here, 720/25p and 720/30p modes will be "over 50i" and "over 60i" respectively.

AFAIK, 720 is pure progressive mode, with no need for pulldown from an interlaced stream, if 2:2 pulldown is needed, it is usually applied on progressive basis, ("over 50p", "over 60p")...

Could it be a typo, or is Panasonic going to introduce a new standard beyond ATSC's specs?

More:
- "VFR in 720p mode is not supported";
- No 25p/30p Native mode, neither in 1080 nor in 720, while the camera will be able to shoot up to 60 frames per second in 1080 VFR mode...

I'm wondering if the CMOS sensor can work both in progressive and in interlaced way...

Am I missing something?

Hi all,

i'm a new italian user,and i'm very happy to post here. I follow DVX user since 2006,i know very well Barry and others.
Great community,you help me to know and buy my Panasonic cameras.

I love Panasonic from first DVX100,i know all P2 prosumer cameras and 'm interested in the AF-101.
The question about Native recording is frustrating me: Is the 1080p PAL 50Hz able to make 25PN in the AF-101 European model?
I read only 1080/24pN in the Press.....:crybaby:

HI TO ALL,GUYS:thumbup::thumbup:
 
It's exactly the same as how 25p is recorded on all the other AVCCAM cameras. It will be handled by your NLE as "native" footage.

Great hear from you,Barry!

Thanks for explanation. So,if i understood correctly,the AF100 doesn't record 25 frames native like the 720PN in the P2 cameras,but "over 50i" like my HMC151.

Regards

Almost unquestionably a typo. There is no "50i" or "60i" in 720p.

"Over 50i" in 1080 and "over 50p" in 720, no matter what press releases say...
I was told that both european and american models will be 60/50 Hz switchable, so model number seems to be the only thing that will be different from AF100 to AF101.
And no other format than 24p will be recorded as "native", in both models.

P.S.
Welcome onboard, paisà... :D

Hi,
thanks to both. :thumbsup:

This is the ultimate confirm to my thought,i'm was hoping to a 25PN but it's no possible at the moment.

However,i Pre-ordered my new AF101 at the price of 4600 Euros VAT/TAX included (out of Italy). Other dealers here in my country,sell it at the price of 5800 Euros.
Here,$4900 are €4900. Italy works so damn bad.

Yes,now i also think that only differences from US models to EU cameras will be model number. No other changes.

PS: Thanks a lot for the "Welcome onboard" in Italian Style!!
