    P2 resolution question

    Posted by Richard Chin on January 15, 2007 at 5:10 pm

    I imported some P2 footage shot at DVCPRO 50 setting into FCP. Why are item properties showing each clip as 720×480.
    Isn’t 720×480 normal DV resolution?. If DVCPRO50 is almost on par with Digital Beta should’nt it be 720×486?

    All DV-based formats (DV, DVCPRO, DVCAM, and DVCPRO50) are 720×480.

    I believe the difference is only in the color sampling and that the luma is the same on both. Dv is 4:1:1 at 25 Mbit whereas DVCPro50 is 4:2:2 color at 50 Mbit.
