24PsF (segmented frame)

Share This
Categories: Images

A system for recording 24P images in which each image is segmented: recorded as odd lines followed by even lines. Unlike normal television, the odd and even lines are from an image that represents the same snapshot in time. It is analogous to the scanning of film for television. This way the signal is more compatible (than normal progressive) for use with video systems, e.g. VTRs, SDTI or HD-SDI connections, mixers/switchers etc., which may also handle interlaced scans. Also it can easily be viewed without the need to process the pictures to reduce 24-frame flicker.
