24p
True
Cinema
(page
43)
Movies shot with a film camera consist
of
24
frames per second.
Since conventional televisions (both CRT
and flat panels) display frames either at 1/60
or 1/50 second intervals, the 24 frames do not
appear at an even pace.
When connected
to
a TV with 24p
capabilities, the player displays each frame at
1/24 second intervals - the same interval
originally shot with the film camera, thus
faithfully reproducing the original cinema
Image.
