Re: Difference btw DVX and GL2
Both the GL2 and the GS400 use "frame mode"; frame mode uses pixel shift to capture what looks like 30p, but there is a resolution loss. A normal interlaced frame maxxes out at about 360 lines of resolution, a frame mode picture is about 10-15% less, so maybe 310 lines. A real progressive frame will be around 480 lines.
But the temporal feel is the same between 30p and "frame mode" as implemented on a 60i camera.
