"The same three 1/3-inch CCDs with 1080i (1,440x1,080) native resolution that drive the XL H1 sit at the center of the XH series' imaging system, and like the H1, both models can record in 1080i at 30F or 24F frame rates. The latter comes in two versions, one which records to tape at 24 frames per second, and one which downconverts from 24fps to 30fps/60i using 2:3:3:2 pull-down before recording for greater editing compatibility."

How do you choose with version of 24F?

Kurt,
I'm pretty sure it's referring to the SD 24f. As far as I know the HD 24f only comes in one flavor...

That's true. The pulldown is only for the standard definition mode.

I believe they are giving you this option so you can edit the footage in systems that were not desigend to recognize and edit 24P or F footage. So it converts it for you allowing the software to take it in. I think when you are finished editing you can then save it back as a 24P file and it converts back. But tha tis where I get lost since I have not tried it and have no idea how the finished file looks or plays.
