About Native Variable Frame Rate Recording

Camcorders such as the Panasonic AG-HVX200 and AG-HVX200E aren’t limited by the constraints of tape-based recording, so they can record native frame rates without duplication of frames. For more information, see “720pN DVCPRO HD Native Frame Rate Recording” on page 45.

If you record variable frame rates in these native frame rate modes, the camera can display the results immediately without the use of a frame rate converter. For more information, see the documentation included with the Panasonic AG-HVX200 camcorder.

About the DVCPRO HD Frame Rate Converter

The DVCPRO HD Frame Rate Converter in Final Cut Pro provides conversion options formerly available only with expensive hardware. You can use the Frame Rate Converter to create an output movie with a frame rate different from the original frame rate (for example, convert 59.94 fps footage to 23.98 fps).

The Frame Rate Converter can create a new self-contained QuickTime movie or create a QuickTime movie that actually refers to the frames of the original media file while playing them back at a different rate.

The Frame Rate Converter only works with certain 720p DVCPRO HD formats and does not process timecode or audio.

Original Media File Requirements

The Frame Rate Converter only processes media files that meet the following requirements:

åThe media file must use the DVCPRO HD 720p60 or DVCPRO HD 720p50 codec.

åThe media file must be captured or ingested at a frame rate of 59.94 or 50 fps.

To ensure that your media file contains the variable frame rate footage from the camera, make sure that you are using a capture preset with the Remove Advanced Pulldown and/or Duplicate Frames During Capture From FireWire Sources checkbox unselected. For 720p60 footage, the easiest way to ensure you retain proper flags is to capture footage using the DVCPRO HD - 720p60 capture preset.

The Apple iPhone 6, released in September 2014, marked a significant evolution in Apple's smartphone lineup. This model introduced a larger screen and a sleeker design, setting the stage for future devices in the iPhone series.

One of the most notable features of the iPhone 6 was its display. With a 4.7-inch Retina HD screen, the iPhone 6 offered a resolution of 1334 x 750 pixels, delivering vibrant colors and sharp images. This screen size was a departure from previous models, appealing to users who favored larger displays for better viewing experiences, whether for gaming, watching videos, or browsing the web.

The design of the iPhone 6 was another highlight. It featured a slim, curved aluminum body that not only made it more aesthetically pleasing but also improved its ergonomics. Weighing just 129 grams, the phone was light yet robust. The placement of volume buttons, the power button, and the headphone jack was thoughtfully designed to enhance usability.

Under the hood, the iPhone 6 was powered by the A8 chip, a 64-bit dual-core processor that offered impressive performance and energy efficiency. Coupled with the M8 motion coprocessor, the device could effectively handle demanding apps and services while optimizing battery life, providing users with a smooth experience throughout the day.

The camera capabilities of the iPhone 6 were also advanced for its time. It featured an 8-megapixel rear camera with optical image stabilization and a f/2.2 aperture, allowing for clearer low-light photography. The front-facing camera was improved as well, offering a 1.2-megapixel resolution and support for 720p HD video, making it great for selfies and video calls.

Connectivity options included LTE support, enabling faster download speeds, and Wi-Fi calling, which allowed users to make calls over Wi-Fi networks, enhancing communication in areas with poor cellular coverage. The iPhone 6 also introduced the Apple Pay feature, allowing users to make secure transactions using their devices.

In terms of software, the iPhone 6 originally came with iOS 8, which boasted new features such as HealthKit and HomeKit, further integrating technology into daily life. Regular software updates ensured that users could enjoy the latest features and security enhancements well into the device's lifecycle.

Overall, the iPhone 6 distinguished itself with a combination of innovative design, powerful performance, and a user-friendly experience, solidifying Apple's position in the smartphone market and paving the way for future iterations in the iPhone lineup.
