✜ 25p Progressive Scan Mode
In this mode, the 1080p image captured by the 3
ClearVid CMOS Sensor system is also recorded as an
interlaced signal by dividing each frame into two fields.
This enables compatibility with current editing and
monitoring equipment that only accept interlace signals,
while maintaining the quality of the 1080p image.
The progressive scan mode is suitable for feature films,
documentaries and music videos, which have to be
recorded as interlaced video for viewing on interlaced
monitors, but want to offer a “progressive look” to their
motion.
It is also possible to edit footage recorded in the “25p
scan” mode as progressive material.
Most NLE software can output the edited timeline in
progressive format by merging odd and even fields.

✜ 25p HDV Native Progressive Recording Modes
The HVR-Z7 E and HVR-S270E camcorders newly feature
a 25p HDV native progressive recording mode.
The 3 ClearVid CMOS Sensor system and EIP create true
1080p images, which can then be recorded as
a
progressive signal by the HVR-Z7 E and HVR-S270E
camcorders in HDV format.
The progressive HDV stream can be output from an i.LINK
connector and used for progressive editing with
compatible NLE software.
The native progressive recording mode is suitable for
output to film, CG composition, viewing on a progressive
monitor, or as an Internet movie.
Note: interlaced video is output from connectors other than i.LINK
The HVR-Z7E and HVR-S270E have two types of progressive shooting modes.
