DVCProHD in PAL land
Excuse my ignorance and poor English.
I was thinking about the following:
If DVCProHD 1080 is achieved by multiplying DVCPro by 4 you get a total pixel count of 1’382’400. So if a future “PAL” DVCProHD is made the same way you’d get 1’658’880 pixels. That means 1080p25 would give you 276’480 pixels more than 30p/24p. Is this correct or nonsense? Man I should try to get some sleep. It’s 3.30 in the mornig here.. counting sheep is so boring, I rather count pixels ,-)Matthias

Same line/pixel count. Only difference is 50/25 for PAL compatibility over 24/30/60for NTSC world.

That would be 24/25/50 for PAL wouldn’t it, just as much as 24/30/60 for NTSC.
ie neither PAL or NTSC is 24fps, so I would assume if there are PAL and NTSC models (as such), then 24fps will still be available in both versions.
You wouldn’t keep 24fps from PAL country models would you?

The DVX100A does not have 24P in Pal land
– No Parking Production –
FCP 4.5, Dual G5, X-Raid

It’s not just multiplying the pixels.
But the datarates do multiply, so you need very little
changes to the hardware, just building more pipes. -
There will be two versions – 24/30/60 and 25/50. This is probably because it is easier to get 25 frames from 50 Hz CCD than from 60Hz CCD. We get it later, pay more and it comes with less features. Some things never change.

Seriously? That’s just plain beyond me, how they can expecte people to use 25fps for 24fps productions when the camera is clearly capable of native 24fps. If this is the case that is just plain nasty.
