Difference between 25p & 25pn rec. mode

Hey!

Just wanna know whats exactly the difference between 25p & 25pn rec. mode??
I just wondered because in 25pn mode I´m able to record the doubled time of 25p mode!! Could anyone help?????
 
Yes, both the manual and search function can help.

In short, native mode doesn't record the duplicate frames, so you get an extended recording capacity. If you want more information than that, I suggested the original advice.
 
I feel some jokes about NTSC are needed. :Drogar-BigGrin(DBG)

I can't imagine anything funny about NTSC.
 
Keep in mind, though, that when you're referring to "Native" mode -- 25pN, 24pN -- you're referring to 720p HD, and there is no "PAL" or "NTSC" -- only differing framerates. Other than that, they're the same. Same resolution, same colorspace.

Ahh, a sensible comment. Spoilsport.



For JonathanLBs benifit, there are 2 varieties of HVX in production. They are based on the timings of the Standard Def formats of the territories they are distributed in.

Theres the vanilla HVX200 (NTSC based, sometimes refered to as HVX200P)
the HVX200E (for europe, innit, and PAL)
the HVX202E (Asian/Autralasian market, PAL)

NTSC is the standard in North America and is based on 60 / 59.98 Hz timing.
PAL is used pretty much through the rest of the world based on 50 hz timimg. (Japan uses both)

The HD standards cover all the base timings (25/50 , 30/60 etc) and some HD cameras will shoot all these. Disapointingly the HVXs only shoot one or the other, ie 25/50 or 30/60

The native pN modes in HVXs are based on divisions of the base rates. So the available frames rates in 720pN differ between HVX200 and HVX200E


(I'm generalising a bit, I don't want to get down to the detail)

Although its worth noting, whilst 720p is the same resolution in both 50Hz and 60Hz cameras, the 1080P mode in the 50Hz camera has a higher resolution than the 60Hz. The 50Hz is 1440x1080 compared to the 60hz at 1280x1080.

And 1080P looks amazing ! Even when its brought down to SD its a super picture.

Enjoy your 50Hz baby !
