x.v.Colour (page 44)
x.v.Colour is a familiar term for the xvYCC
standard proposed by Sony.
xvYCC is an international standard for colour
space in video.
This standard can express a wider colour
range than the currently used broadcast
standard.
24p True Cinema (page 43)
Movies shot with a film camera consist of 24
frames per second.
Since conventional televisions (both CRT
and flat panels) display frames either at 1/60
or 1/50 second intervals, the 24 frames do not
appear at an even pace.
When connected to a TV with 24p
capabilities, the player displays each frame at
1/24 second intervals — the same interval
originally shot with the film camera, thus
faithfully reproducing the original cinema
image.
