will the old HV20 play back the 24p mode of the new XH-A1s?

I know it will playback the 24f frame mode of the old A1, but now that the new camera has a proper 24p I was wondering if the old HV20 will still play it back.

The 24F on the XH A1S is the exact same as on the original XH A1.

Your HV20 will read your tapes fine.

Hope this helps.

I was under the impression the A1s has true 24p unlike the original. I thought I read that as one of the selling points. Is this not true?

24F is true 24p.
(Dozens and dozens of posts on this topic in the XL and XH forums).

... A1s has true 24p unlike the original. There has been absolutely no change in 24F between the older XH A1 and the newer XH A1S.

And just to reiterate what's already been stated, 24F is true 24p.
