We talk about interpolation or repeating frames for 24p but it seems simpler if a multisync display just displayed them at 24 fps. On a non-flickering (non-interpolating) fixed pixel display there shouldn't be any difference between 24, 48, or 72 Hz display when the source is 24p. So why don't the displays just sync to 24? - Tom Mike Tsinberg wrote: > Yes the conversion to old format is now responsibility of the TV or the STB. > This is always the case the when incoming signal is "better" then display > format.
