Re: SONY XDCAM

yeah im pretty sure about it being 24p. I saw it on this months Videography issue ad.

except it says 24PsF- what is that? it's a scramble of FPS.

Re: SONY XDCAM

I believe the Sony camera you mention has an *optional* 24p board that can be added for a price.

If it's what I'm thinking of, yes the 24P board is a $10,000 option.

24PsF stands for progressive segmented frame. It's a way that Sony records 24P by slowing down the tape format and writing a direct 24 frames, although segmented by interlacing (I think). In effect it's no big deal, it's still capturing and writing 24 progressive frames, so don't worry 'bout it...
