Camera recommendations for web delivery only
Hi,
My company wants me to start producing some web banner ads that contain video. Any specific features I need to be looking for in a sd camera? I won't need any HD footage for the time being. These clips will be small and need to load quickly. I've heard folks highly suggest a true progressive scan camera. Right now I'm looking for an Optura Pi. Any other suggestions for cameras or specific features I should be looking for? Thanks Derek |

Would frame mode be superior to deinterlaced footage for web delivery?

I think you have to get at least a GS400 for frame mode and native 16:9. I have a GS250 and I'm pretty sure there's no frame mode (unless I missed it somewhere) and the sensor is 4:3.
Since most banner ads are <240 pixels high, is there much benefit to shooting progressive/frame since you're throwing out half the vertical resolution anyway? -Terence |
