1200A Record at 24P?
Just wanted to get an answer here, It’s stupid but I have a client that insist that the pana 1200A can record at 24P.
How is that possible if the specs, indicate rec format 720 59.94. Is there a trick to it? Any info would be appreciated.Thanks,
Stan

You are correct Pan delivers 24P over 60 both with its decks and cameras. Some HDCAM can record 24P.

Stan,
My experience is with the 1400, but the two decks are very similar, so hopefully this advice is valid. The deck will always lay down 720/59.94p. However, it’s possible for the VTR to lay down 24p flags that allow the recorded material to be easily further utilized at native 23.98 (just like a Varicam or HDX source tape). This works with both firewire and HD-SDI connections, and proper settings in the menu and EXT TC switch.

Just a warning.
Once you’ve recorded 720/24P on to a tape using the deck, I don’t know of a simple way to digitize it in back to 720/24P because the deck doesn’t flag the footage as 24P like the varicam or the HDX900 does.
There are ticks, but as far as I know, it’s not easy. (I would love to be wrong on this one. So if there is someone who knows better, please let me know.)
