Someone tried to tell me the following were HD formats.

Does anyone in here know whether this is true or not?


The following formats are considered HD by the ATSC:

Vertical lines Pixel Widths i/P Aspect Ratio Frame rates (Hz)


480 640 i 4:3 30

480 640 P 4:3 24, 30, 60

480 704 i 4:3 30

480 704 P 4:3 24, 30, 60

480 704 i 16:9 30

480 704 P 16:9 24, 30, 60

720 1280 P 16:9 24, 30, 60

1080 1920 i 16:9 30

1080 1920 P 16:9 24, 30


It came up in a discussion about the Panasonic dvx-100.

I was wondering what people thought about this camera and it's 24P
features.
