What does 24p "Cinelike" mode
mean?
Twenty-four frames per second is the frame rate that many primetime programs,
television commercials and independent movies originate in. The popularity of
24P camcorders is due to the fact that they produce a close approximation to the
"look" of film, and offer a significant savings in production costs.
Representing a revolutionary leap in digital
video technology, the palm-size AG-DVX100 is
equipped with three, newly-developed 1/3"
410,000-pixel progressive- scan CCDs that allow
the camcorder to capture high-sensitivity images
in both standard 60-field-per-second NTSC
(interlace scan) and also at
24-frames-per-second progressive scan.
When is 24p the right format for me?
When you wish to capture a
sequence of images with a "cinematic" look.
For
example, independent film production, film
school training, and additional video sequences
to be inter cut with existing film archives. The
AG-DVX100 can also be applied as a "B Roll"
camera on set, complementing the primary HD
video camera or 35mm film camera. It is also a
very economical way to shoot multiple camera
coverage in 24p.
