Duh…lower field or upper field first

[Winrockpost]

Oh,, NTSC SD going to Beta

[Andy Mees]

Uncompressed should be Upper field first

[Winrockpost]

Thank you much

Uncompressed SD is Lower Field First in NTSC for most equipment (old Avids and Media 100 used upper)…PAL uses upper field first for SD.

In DV its lower field first for both PAL and NTSC

Hey, your advice was correct for the majority of the planet. (however, since winrockpost didnt say where he was from, I was assuming the US..could be wrong, though)

[Andy Mees]

but he/she did specifically post that it was NTSC . ah well, we all make mistakes (just some more often than others!)

Hey

are you sure about Uncompressed NTSC and DV ntsc having the same feild dominance? I could not tell you off the top of my waht its supposed to be, but everytime i go into setup, i see the prompt that sez “all video is yadda yadda first except dv which is doda doda”

soooo i think DV, DVCPRO, DVCPRO50 and maybe even DVCPROHD NTSC are upper field first?

bee eph

DV, DVCPRO, DVCPRO50 are all lower field first in NTSC.
DVCPRO HD is upper for 1080i. No fields for 720p

PAL DV formats are lower field first, but SD is upper.
