Film Mode

The Film Mode function turns ON or OFF the 3:2 PULLDOWN DETECTION SPECIAL FEATURE. Theatrical movies are shot on film at 24 frames or still pictures per second, instead of 30 frames or 60 fields like video. When film is transferred to video for television viewing, the disparity between the two frame rates must be reconciled. This involves a process known as 3:2 pulldown.

When Film Mode is turned ON from the VIDEO menu, your Hitachi Plasma Television will activate the circuitry for this special feature to improve video performance when watching film based sources.

NOTES: 1. When using Progressive Scan Component or DVI input (Ex. 480p, 720p), Film Mode will not be available (grayed out). Please see table below for additional information.

2. All Video settings are independent of each other based on it’s input (ANT, AV1~AV4).
