Frame Dimensions, Number of Lines, and Resolution

DVCPRO HD supports three resolutions:

å1080i60: 1280 pixels per line, 1080 lines; interlaced (displayed at 16:9, or 1920 x 1080)

å1080i50: 1440 pixels per line, 1080 lines; interlaced (displayed at 16:9, or 1920 x 1080)

å720p60, 720p50: 960 pixels per line, 720 lines; progressive (displayed at 16:9, or 1280 x 720)

Final Cut Pro captures and processes DVCPRO HD using its native dimensions but displays the image onscreen as you would expect 16:9 video to appear.

Frame Rate

DVCPRO HD supports both NTSC and PAL frame rates:

åNTSC: 59.94 and 29.97 fps

åPAL: 50 and 25 fps

Note: The Panasonic Varicam camcorder has an option for true 60 fps recording (versus 59.94 fps), although Final Cut Pro does not support these rates when capturing via FireWire.

The 1080i60 format can record 24 fps progressive footage with standard pull-down (2:3:2:3) or advanced pull-down (2:3:3:2).

Camcorders capable of recording 720p60 footage can also record 720p30 and 720p24 footage. Camcorders that support 720p50 can also record 720p25 footage. Tape-based camcorders achieve these frame rates by duplicating frames and flagging them for removal during capture (or with a frame rate converter). P2 camcorders such as the Panasonic AG-HVX200 can record natively (without duplicate frames) to the 720pN30 and 720pN24 formats. The Panasonic AG-HVX200E camcorder supports 720pN25.

Some DVCPRO HD camcorders support variable frame rate recording in the

720p format. In this case, the video is actually recorded at 60 or 50 fps and duplicate frames are flagged for removal during post-production. Duplicate frames can be removed using a frame rate converter.

6 specifications

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.
