7-3-9 Setting the CCD Scan Mode
Since the camcorder has CCDs that use an “all pixels read-
out method,” a progressive scan mode is also available in
addition to the conventional interlace scan mode.
You can select either of the following modes using the
FORMAT page of the OPERATION menu.
• I (interlace scan) mode
• PsF (progressive scan) mode
Installing the CBK-FC01 allows you to select the 24P
mode.
Each mode is described below using timing charts.
I (interlace scan) mode
Interlace scan mode timing chart
The video signal of an odd scanning line and that of an
even scanning line are output from the CCD alternately.
Thus, the timing of the odd-field video signal and even-
field video signal are different.
PsF (progressive scan) mode
Progressive scan mode timing chart
The video signal of an odd scanning line and that of an
even scanning line are output from the CCD at the same
time. Then they are sent to the memory and separated into
odd-field and even-field scanning lines. Thus the timing of
an odd-field video signal and an even-field video signal are
the same.
24P mode (2-3 pull-down) mode (PDW-510/530 only)
24P mode timing chart
After reading from the CCDs in 24P mode (23.98 frames
per second), a pull-down conversion is carried out to the 30
frames (29.97 frames per second) of the normal
progressive scan mode.
