why do stills from the HVX look SO bad?

[Barry_Green]

And I'm not implaying anythning other than that the native rez pr channel is 960 x540

*per channel*, yes. But are you reading the pictures as "per channel"? No. So what relevance does it have? You read the three chips together as a combined block, and as a combined block it's delivering about 1440 x 810.

In FCP when I use export Still Image, it gets squeezed on the sides and doesn't appear 16x9, what settings do I change?
