Bad strobing on YPbPr output

[Ron Shook]

Chris,

[Chris Babbitt] “However, when I connected the camera to my HD monitor (both a 32″ LCD and a 56″ DLP) using the component cable, the pans look so bad, it’s as though something is really wrong. I noticed that the YPbPr output on the camera is limited to 60p even though the footage was shot in 24 or 30p (page 117 of the manual).”

Just speculating from what you’ve said, but I suspect a technical issue revolving around pull-up or pull-down (I can never keep them straight.) Whether it’s correctable by some camera (or monitor) setting, I don’t know, but as others have said, if you take your footage properly through your NLE and output to a standard viewable file, I think that you’ll find the problem will disappear because the proper image cadance processing will be applied.
