There seems to be some conflicting info regarding 24 fps recording on the HV40. The announcement indicates that it's real 24f, like the XH series. My HV30 does 24p within a 60i wrapper.


This subject has been brought up in other threads, but, what's the difference as long as it's 24p? Is there a difference in quality? If this has been brought up before can you please guide me to the thread. Thx.

Well, if you want all bandwidth devoted to the real frames and not to synthetic frames created to pad 24 fps out to 30 fps, then native 1080p24 would be best, I guess. Or you could use a lower data rate (but effectively the same as with 24Pfs) and have more recording time per unit of storage.

the other res is still 1440 correct? in another words 1440x1080p24?

If you're talking about the HV40, yes -- it must be 1440 or it wouldn't be HDV (same as HDCAM).
