- HD – DVCPro HD 720p at 720p23.976, 720p24, 720p25, 720p29.97, 720p30, 720p50 (see note below), 720p 59.94, 720p60; DVCPro HD 1080i50 (1440 x 1080) and 1080i60 (1280 x 1080) at all 1080 frame rates listed above
The V3HD can capture and play back 1080i50 at 30 fps, which provides better resolution (1440 pixels wide) than 1080i60 (1280 pixels wide). However, the 1080i50 format is not widely supported and cannot be recorded or played by other DVCPro HD compatible devices, such as a DVCPro HD video deck or camera.
