Need advice: frame rate for footage to be delivered to networks
Hello forum – we are shooting a conference (speakers on a stage) on the Sony EX-3 at probably 1080P.
The footage will eventually be delivered to I think to ABC, but they said it could be someone else. They’ll also probably want to do DVDs with the content.
23.976 or 29.97 on the Sony? For film’s I’ve always had them shoot 23.976 but that was never going to networks.
THANKS!

ABC broadcasts 720p 60.

So we shouldn’t even be doing 1080P?
Is 60 frames the same as 30P on the camera? I’m not a camera operator.
THANKS.

Since you don’t yet know who it’s going to and you have likely done DVD’s before I’d go with what you are used to then build into the budget the cost of outputting to HDCam at 23.98 and recapturing the output as 59.94 letting the HDCam handle the pulldown.
also the 23.98 sequence can be dropped in a 720P 23.98 VFR sequence which will output at 59.94 yielding the 720P60. there may be a pulldown issue.
be aware that most network SD downconverts will be center cut 4:3 so… all GFX text etc will need 4:3 safe since your sides will be cut offDoug Beal

60p is 60 progressive frames a second. 30p is 30 progressive frames per second. 60i is 60 fields (half-frames) per second. 60p and 60i will share the same motion characteristics.
