check out this link from the Canon website talks about 1080i/30F
https://www.usa.canon.com/app/html/XLH1/frame_rates_formats.shtml

In 60i mode, the frame rate switches between 60i (60 fields per second, interlaced-the “standard” video speed), 30F, and 24F.

These Frame modes have the same look as progressive frame rates, but are not labeled “progressive” because they are created with an interlaced chip. The end result is exactly the same to the editing system (and to our eyes) as 30p and 24p, respectively.

Note: The actual frame rates are 59.94, 29.97 and 23.976 for 60i mode.

ps: i recently recorded a live disco concert arena size with 7,000 people in attendance with four (4) rented Canon XL-H1 at 1080i/30F to mini DV tapes (total of 20 tapes). I currently seeking the best and afforable solution to capture my mini DV tapes to a Powermac Quad G5 to FCP.

Hi all I am pretty confused. I am shooting use this Canon camera at 30p.
https://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=177&modelid=17384

It says 30p but I emailed Canon and they said it is 30p but 1080i interlaced.

I am capturing using 1080i 30p. So is my result 30p in the end after capturing?

Now regarding field render. It says upper field first obviously since it is 1080i. BUT I work only on the web do I need to do upper field first or can I leave it off? Will my rendering be sped up because of this?

Thanks
