Re: [Avid-L2] AMA Canon 5D Footage Fps and raster size?

I don't buy that. I mean I know it's CLOSE to real SD, but...

The difference between square pixels and 601 pixels is .9 right? The math (720x.9) works out to slighly more than 640. And 480 is a little shy of 486.

Avid used to claim 640x 480 was broadcast SD, but it's really 720x486. With 720x480 being DV and DVD.

So it's CLOSE to SD, but I say it's NOT SD. The bigger question is WHY shoot 4:3 SD when you have a 16:9 camera? For the artful look of the square? :-)
