20.9 The 422/444 mismatch issue
422 footage cannot be played
back with a 444 format, or vice
versa. If you try this, the image
will be colored noise.
Therefore if you take footage shot in S59.94 or S60 422 and want
to playback to check the slow motion effect with the VTR format at
a fixed speed (like 23.98 or 24), you must leave the color sampling
at 422.
422/444 mismatch is not an issue with footage shot in S29.97 or
S30 at 444, because recording and playback are both at 444.
Recording format Playback format to check motion effect
444 S29.97
444 S30 444 23.98
444 24 or 444 25

422 24 or 422 25
Panavision recommends that you verify the VTR FPS format after
doing a check playback. Switching back and forth between color
sampling modes and formats can leave this setting in an undesired
state
