9.2.1.2 p (progressive) / pDL (progressive Dual-Link)
Progressive video is a technique of transmitting all horizontal lines of an image at one time as a single
frame. This format is recommended as a high quality mastering format.
 24p / 48pDL: progressive frame rates for productions targeting 24 Hz film systems. Be aware that
48pDL needs dual-link HD-SDI cabling and equipment.
 23.9p: progressive frame rate for productions targeting both 24 Hz film and 29.97 Hz video systems
 25p / 50p(DL): progressive frame rates targeting 50 Hz television systems. Be aware that 50pDL
needs dual-link HD-SDI cabling and equipment.
 29.9p / 59.9p(DL): progressive frame rates targeting 59.94 Hz television systems. Be aware that
59.9pDL needs dual-link HD-SDI cabling and equipment.
 30p / 60p(DL): progressive frame rates targeting 60 Hz television systems. Be aware that 60pDL
needs dual-link HD-SDI cabling and equipment.
9.2.1.3 psf (progressive segmented frame)
Progressive video segmented frame is a technique of packing all horizontal lines of an image into two
fields at half vertical resolution. The first field contains all odd numbered lines of the frame; the second
field contains all even numbered lines of the frame.
This allows making high quality progressive material available for equipment that only accepts interlaced
signals.
 24psf: progressive segmented frame rate for productions targeting 24 Hz film systems.
 23.9psf: progressive segmented frame rates for productions targeting both 24 Hz film and 29.97 Hz
video systems
 25psf: progressive segmented frame rate targeting 50 Hz television systems.
 29.9psf: progressive frame rate targeting 59.94 Hz television systems.
 30psf: progressive segmented frame rate targeting 60 Hz television systems.
9.2.2 Shutter
sinaCAM is equipped with an electronic shutter that reduces the exposure time in order to reduce motion
blur.
Available settings:
FULL; 1/50; 1/60; 1/125; 1/250; 1/500; 1/1000; 1/2000; 1/5000
9.2.2.1 FULL
By selecting FULL the exposure time is determined by sensor frame rate. E.g., the combination of
FPS = 25p and Shutter = FULL leads to 1/25 sec = 40 ms exposure time.
9.2.2.2 1/50; 1/60; 1/125; 1/250; 1/500; 1/1000; 1/2000; 1/5000
By selecting one of these values, the exposure time is electronically limited. The values are measured in
seconds. E.g., 1/500 sec = 2 ms exposure time.
Please note that the exposure time cannot exceed the time derived from the selected frame rate. E.g., a
frame rate of 60 fps will lead to an exposure time of 1/60 sec = 16.7 ms, even if the Shutter setting is
1/50 sec = 20 ms.
