Panasonic Chip De-Mystified?

[Blub06]

In the absence of F1 racing until May I guess this shoot out will have to do.

Gee guess who is going to win….

[Blub06]

Oh my God did I say May? I meant the other month that begins with an M, March, as in March 12th. I am such a jerk, please forgive me.

[George] “because it is a primary performance indicator and measure of an expensive product.”

The thing is, it’s not an expensive product, when compared to true ‘professional’ cameras. It’s modestly priced at $6k-10k. If you need the quality of 2/3″ chips with true progressive 1080 resolution, then I’m sad to tell you that you really need to spend more. Quite a lot more, really.

I find it odd that Panasonic has not confirmed or denied anything in this thread. Usally we hear something from them about this. There is a strange silence in this thread.

Hi David,

There is nothing to deny here, there is nothing to talk about here. People want the pixel count and unfortunately I am not at liberty to discuss that. So I have discussed this in too many threads, and I am tired of discussing it, which why I have not chimed in.
Best,

Jan

[Karl] “Finally the camera does shoot true progressive but since DVCPROHD codec is used to store the information, you have to store the progressive information in an interlaced stream. This is just a way to make 24p fit into the DVCPROHD codec, its not any electronic processing altering the image at all.”

that may be true in 1080 as that is the spec for the Sony developed 1080 PSF,(progressive segmented frame) — but not true of 720p which is a truly progressive capture.
