| I worked on a few of unscripted shows last year, for both Food Network and Spike TV. The Food Network shows actually were shot and posted 1080p/29.97 but delivered to network as 60i on HDCAM. The Spike one was actually shot and posted 60i. (eeewww....interlace!). For spot, corporate and documentary work it's ALWAYS progressive. Often 23.976p but sometimes 29.97p. (I'm in the US). The stuff is generally delivered file-based these days at it's native frame rate. Except for spots which go out via FTP or DG Fastchannel, etc. Those get encoded as if they are 1080i and pulldown added on the final delivery stage if necessary. carey On Feb 16, 2012, at 4:07 PM, Byron Nash wrote: Is anyone actually working with interlaced 1080 material? We get a lot of 1080 stuff but it's almost always 23.976 progressive. We just let the "interlacing" happen on the output. But I never see the fields on our stuff, I think it's just a flag in the file so it doesn't get rejected by the stations. I haven't seen any true interlaced source footage unless it came from Digi-Beta or SP. |
