Walter, while it’s true that power in Europe cycles at 50Hz, most computer monitors here run at 60Hz, probably because this seems to be the default for most graphics cards. Getting a full chain of 50Hz playback and display (for example, when mixing live video and projected backdrops in Watchout) is not always as simple as one might hope it would be!

I stand corrected. Everything I’ve produced for Europe has actually been for WATCHOUT systems or other systems interfacing with video, where I guess we had control over the refresh rate via EDID management.
