Abstract: In the past year, an unprecedented flurry of industry activity on the product and system development (and standardization) of a 24 frame progressive scan HDTV production system (now generally known as the 24P-system), has been driven by two marketplace imperatives: DTV multiformat production and a digital adjunct to motion picture film for movie production. Issues of acquisition, transport, and post-production relating to this format must all be encompassed in their respective overall system designs. 24P offers novel solutions to managing post-production in our new world of multiformat DTV, which encompasses both progressive and interlaced scanning. Suddenly, the old established world of analog 50/60-Hz interlaced video is about to be replaced by mixed progressive, interlaced, and segmented frame digital video—all operating at a variety of frame and field rates. Understanding this new world, and the options available to sensibly implement flexible systems, will be helped by a better understanding of the essential differences between interlaced, progressive, and segmented frames video structures. This paper will attempt to outline the basic technical characteristics of each.
