Glossary
24p Cinema film showing
: Film producers today rotate their movies at 24 images
per second (24p); conventional televisions (and also most DVDs) show 50 pictures
per second (50 Hz). To play the movie, the original number of pictures is doubled
and the movie is accelerated. This is optimal for sports transmissions, however if
you are watching a more sedate movie, it can distort the image quality. The new
Loewe TV sets automatically playback 24p movies in the original 24p format.
