GH2 HDMI out doubt

[shooter_]

richtrav who has a GH2, pm'ed me saying he could help to understand if HDMI is full progressive or just interlaced.

I saw some pic/test that seemed to indicate the HDMI was interlaced and had no progressive output.

something like this sawtooth we can see in this pic:

anyone knows where this test with the HDMI output of the GH2 was posted? The results are more or less the same of this horrible sawtooth. I just don't remember exactly where I saw it... But the original tester could have the wrong settings anyway. They say the camera outputs the selected recording mode... 1080/24p if this is the recording mode.

It could help richtrav to do his tests.

thx

Not meaning to go too far off-topic, but just so you know .... that sawtooth pattern is largely related to faults in avchd decoding and mis-interpreted flags in the Canon HF11 footage. Although interlaced footage does look like that, in the case of the HF11 if you decode its 24P footage correctly those jaggies disappear: http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthrea...here-Thanks.&p=1883708&viewfull=1#post1883708 .

That's colour resolution, not interlacing artifacts, I think. Was that image from HDMI out, or AVCHD? I wouldn't be surprised if it were AVCHD as that has a lower colour resolution than luma resolution.

As it says in the link ... it's broken decoding of non-interlaced AVCHD footage.
