    Advanced 2:3:3:2 pulldown Advanced 2:3:3:2 pulldown was developed as an alternative to the standard pulldown method for making frame rate conversions in DV video. It is used to convert 486p @ 23.98 fps video to NTSC (486i @ 29.97 fps) video. This conversion is used when video footage is acquired by a DV camera at 23.98 fps and recorded to DV tape with the recorder set for advanced pulldown (called 24PA or 24P Advanced mode on some devices).
