View Full Version : Jericho picture quality

Throughout this series I've noticed the motion isn't quite the norm for
most US shows of this type.
I guess most US programming is produced either on film or digitally at
24p and then they do a 3:2 pulldown to NTSC.
However they also produce a PAL version with 2:2 pulldown and sped up
just like DVD movies.
Since Jericho is being shown within 15 hours of being shown in the US
are they perhaps not producing a PAL version and just converting the
NTSC version to PAL causing some motion distortion?
Any thoughts?

density long view oaddick stuff .. across the tops of the corn paddock

I haven't really noticed any difference from most other shows (SD on a 76cm
CRT).
