    Arg….

    I failed to mention/ask this:

    I am able to have fractions in film record / film menu, however, both the Varicam manual and the Goodmans guide makes me think that:

    1/100 = 180.0
    1/120 = 172.8
    1/250 = 144.0
    1/500 = 120.0
    1/1000 = 90.0
    and
    1/2000 = 45.0

    While I always thought:
    1/48 = 180.0

    After testing this by setting the camera to 172.8 and having my crossover point on my waveform monitor at 50ish. I captured and overlayed the 1/120 over the 172.8

    The crossover point at 1/120 went to 33ish.

    So I guess my main question is is:

    What is the correct conversion from deg. to fractions and can it be displayed in the film menu?

    Which I am sure it will lead to many more questions.

    Thanks again,

    Cartwright
