24pTrue Cinema
Movies shot v,,ith a film camera consist of 24 frames per second.
Since conventional televisions (both CRT and fiat panels)
display frames either at 1/60 or 1/50 second intervals, the 24
frames do not appear at an even pace.
When connected to a TV with 24p capabilities, the player
displays each frame at 1/24 second intervals --the same interval
originally shot with the film camera, thus faithfldly reproducing
the original cinema image.
