| I always thought it was a 3 blade shutter in movie theaters? When I was a kid we saw films in the local village hall with a cranky projector that would definitely be 2 bladed! They were known as the 'flicks' for obvious reasons. I think a significant proportion of Americans would see some flicker at 48hz; there is definitely an environment factor in this and visitors to Europe often complain about our 50Hz world. One of the frustrations to somebody who occasionally lectures the theories of motion perception is that many folks struggle to understand the personal nature of this. One man's 'film look' is another man's 'judder'! As an outsider - the 3:2 experience does not give an attractive perception of motion. As an engineer it is an interesting solution but I cannot see that it would ever have been invented if motion film had not already existed. To shoot and edit a video piece to get the same effect is (to me) an example of 'the emperor's new clothes' but hey - everybody has the right to like what they like! To me it is praise by association. I was just watching a piece on the news about Concorde (it is some anniversary). The reporter was in a museum exhibit of one of the planes and rightly reported that it was actually not a very pleasant experience - it was cramped and claustrophobic with tiny windows. The time savings for ordinary passengers (without the VIP ground service) were limited but everybody dreamed of flying on it because of all the famous folks who used it. What is fascinating to me is to see how film and video will develop into the totally digital world with no legacy restraints. 4K/48fps is obviously an immediate target and it is interesting that you can now buy a TV to show this even though there is no current way (in the UK) of delivering the programs! By the way - electronic displays do indeed repeat supplied frames. Most TVs have some form of motion renderer that will generate the extra frames to some form of algorithm that (if you are lucky) has some user control. You can play with these for hours but don't expect your family to necessarily like your settings!
