I don't really know much about the HD formats, but I believe that the display refresh rate is still 59.94Hz.
For the 1080i format, the output is telecined with 3:2 pulldown as for SD video.
For 720p (and 1080p, I suppose?) a 24fps film would display frames in the sequence 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 4 4 4 and so on.
Either way, the display framerate is 23.976fps.Originally posted by: Arnie.d
So PAL audio is sped up and NTSC audio is actually slowed down?
I didn't know that.
Yes, but there is a big difference between a 0.1% slowdown and a 4% speedup. I guess my next question would be, do the high definition formats get around this problem?
