This does work, but is not "perfect." The reason you don't get the dreaded roll bar on an LCD screen is because the pixels are always "on." Granted there is a florescent light source for the LCD. On a CRT, the picture is written on, and then blanked, before the next image is written on to the screen. This is done alternating lines, first odd lines (1,3,5,7,9,11 - 525) then even (2,4,6,8,10-524.) So the image is broken into two fields - running at 59.94. So since the camera is running at 24, the roll bar is the shifting blanking interval. With an LCD screen, although you don't see the big nasty roll bar, there is a small sizzling line that passes through the image. If you can get a hold of The Arri 35 Book (Jon Fauer) there is a great section on shooting off a TV screen. -- Steven Gladstone New York Based Cinematographer Gladstone films Blog - http://indiekicker.reelgrok.com/ http://www.blakehousemovie.com http://www.gladstonefilms.com 917-886-5858 _______________________________________________ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
