[. . . ] CineAlta products, delivering cinema-quality pictures at selectable frame-rates, are simplifying International Programme Exchange by minimizing the need for standards conversion. Equally, they are opening up new possibilities for international co-production. Movie making has been liberated with the creative empowerment of the cinematographer. It is facilitated by real-time HD image evaluation on-set, instant replay of a full-color high-resolution digital "take", real-time image optimization while shooting, a 50-minute shooting load and, most importantly, by the significant cost-benefits associated with this digital medium. [. . . ] The error concealment system is powerful enough to provide superb picture quality even if one of the 4-playback heads is accidentally damaged. In addition, the 13. 5 µm tape thickness ensures stable and reliable recording. 24P HDCAM allows a single highest resolution program master to be created, from which all other video formats (or film recordings) can be made on a global basis. Simply stated, this is the first singular digital format ever created specifically to suit the needs of Motion Picture, HDTV, television, DVD, Internet, future E-Cinema and all other electronic and digital distribution media. In order to retain system compatibility of progressive frames with interlaced signals, the 24P system handles each progressive frame as two segments separated in time by 1/48th of a second. A complete progressive picture frame from the acquisition device (telecine, camcorder, studio camera, etc. ) is divided into two segments and as such travels through the HD SDI base-band interface (or through the SDTI infrastructure in a compressed form) in the same manner as an interlaced signal. Although the segmented signal structurally resembles an interlaced signal, it should NOT be confused with interlaced images. The segmented frame format is approved by the ITU Rec. 709-3 and is supported by most of the major manufacturers. The official ITU nomenclature for this signal is 24PsF ­ Progressive, Segmented Frames. 8 Key Features Operational Flexibility and Production Convenience Conversion from HD to SD The HKDV-501A option provides down conversion capability from high definition (HD) to standard definition (SD). Standard definition serial digital (SDI) and analog composite signals are output. For a 60i or 30P recording 525 signals are output. For a 50i or 25P recording 625 signals are output. Output of progressive standard definition signals (480P and 576P) is provided by means of dual linked SDI outputs. Down conversion from 24P is also possible with the addition of the optional HKDV-507 pull down board to provide the frame rate conversion. The frame rate conversion is achieved using the recognised 3-2 pull down sequence. The aspect ratio of the standard definition output can be selected from `Edge Crop' (with adjustable position), `Letter box' or `Squeeze'. A distinct advantage of the HDW-F500 is that, with its down-conversion capability, the "super-sampled" HD origination produces standard definition 480 and 576-line PAL/NTSC signals having technical performances that are superior to those were they originated in their native formats (their horizontal and vertical MTFs are higher and the associated scanning aliasing is less). 24PsF 25PsF 30PsF Conventional 480/576-line Digital VTR "Super-sampled" HDCAM Down-Converted signals Long Recording Time on a Single Cassette A full-length feature movie can be recorded on a single tape cassette. The HDW-F500 supports both small and large tape cassettes.
