Sony HVR-V1U Brochure & Specs page 10

Creative Versatility Ideal for Cinema & Drama Productions
Progressive Shooting Capability Including 24p with 2-3 Pull-down and 30p
Thanks to the 3 ClearVid CMOS Sensor imaging system and
Enhanced Imaging Processor (EIP) technology, the HVR-V1U
supports 24p (23.978 fps)* 12 , the frame rate of film and 30p
(29.97 fps) progressive scan modes, in addition to typical 60i.
The signals generated by the 3 ClearVid CMOS Sensor
imaging system are processed in the progressive domain as
1920 x 1080p signals, allowing high-resolution progressive
footage to be captured.
The 24p progressive scan signals are recorded to tape as
60i signals through means of 2-3 pull-down. This 2-3 sequence
HDV material can be reverted to its original 24p form, as
captured by the camera, using a compatible nonlinear
editor* 13 . Similarly, a 30p signal is recorded as a 60i signal by
dividing each frame into two fields. This approach allows 24p
and 30p progressive footage to be played back or fed to an
editing suite using any of the thousands of Sony HDV solutions
already in use throughout the world.

* The 24p (progressive scan) images captured with the HVR-V1U are recorded
using a method that allows them to be viewed on existing Sony HDV (60i) devices.
Two recording modes can be selected depending on your editing requirements.
The "24A" mode should be selected when the material is intended for 24p
progressive editing - such as for film productions - using a nonlinear editor
compatible with this mode. Interruptions in time code and video may appear
between recordings when viewed on an HDV device. These interruptions do not
occur after the recording is copied to an i.LINK compatible nonlinear editor
system via the i.LINK connection, and the recordings can be correctly edited as
normal 24p video clips. Recordings made in this mode can also be edited as
typical 60i material.
The "24" mode should be selected when a 24p (motion) look is desired on 60i
material, such as for TV program content. In this case, there are no interruptions in
the time code or video between recordings. Recordings made in this mode can be
edited as typical 60i material.
