I don’t believe the pulldown has been applied in any of the posted examples. For instance, the ones in Matt’s tests:

Thanks for the valuable feedback guys,

So many things I want to test (slated for hipment on Monday-yeah!).

Is there a technical reason that you can think of that would limit pushing the long GOP HD (that is already being written for SxS) through firwire on the EX? I am wondering about the possibilty of a firmware update. Should I be anticipating the Vaio EX1 laptop that enables this feature? 🙂

As it stands, what is the required additional hardware/software for recording the same format HD that will end up on the SxS card to a Lappy?

[Randy Strome]

On when hand that sounds correct, I mean could this little camera be packed with simultaneous output formats? On the other hand it seems like a very odd feature to have I link out only outputting for certain formats. If, ostensibly firewire would be used primarily for a monitor, then you would not be able to monitor most of the available formats (all of the HD formats).

IE is choking on the file, so I will try to repost as a link for right click / download:

Hi guys,
Thanks for the effort Mark. I get the same error as Ron on Windows, and the same set of options. Downloaded VLC, and although no error is diplayed, no video will play. Would it be possible to post the clip straight from the card?

Best, Randy

Really interesting and informative Ron. 720 24P with a smaller spatial and temporal resolution should cut out enough data to allow for detail to be maintained to a relatively high degree even in pans. How well does the codec adjust?

[Craig Seeman] “There should be a difference between shutter speed and shutter angle regarding how the camera handles changes in frame rate for example. Shoot at 720p24 at 1/48 and change to 720p60 and the shutter is still at 1/48. Do the same with shutter angel 180

“Interlace is recorded sequentially otherwise there would no difference in recorded motion between them. Just watch the jitter on an interlaced frame of any subject or camera movement, on a TV monitor.”

Thanks Craig, that was my guess. I was getting ready to type a response to Mark’s question below, and realized that I was not 100% sure myself.

“A question though… wouldnt shooting 1080p be the same thing as shooting 1080i and then rendering the final video to a HQ WMV file 1080 progressive? Or is there a difference? ”

As Craig clarified above, software would be trying to manufacture a single whole frame from two temporally difffernt halves. More accurately, by software blurring the lines from one half (or one field) into a complete frame. I found this here:

Question here that i have always wondered about. With interlaced frames, are the two “half” frames recorded at the same instant but played back one after another, or are they recorded sequentially and played back sequentially?

Hi Mark,

I, like you, had never owned a camera with a shutter angle option. Turns out that the terms shutter angle and exposure time define the same thing: How long is the exposure. Shutter angle is a term that was used in film cameras. On the EX-1, it is an electric shutter, so no physical angle is actually changed. If you are already comfortable with considering exposure time in terms of fractions of a second, then there is no need to ever look at the shutter angle option. Here is the conversion chart if you are interested:
