2Kx1080 2Kx1080 is a 2048 x1080 digital cinema standard.
3:2 Pull Down 3:2 pull down is a process where six frames are added to a film’s original
24-frames-per-second format so that it can work within the 30 fps NTSC
standard.
3D-TV 3D-TV is HD-SDI video that uses two video streams, one for the left eye and
one for the right, to give the image depth. The two video streams can be
either two independent HD-SDI video feeds or two video streams
multiplexed into a single HD-SDI feed.
3G-SDI 3G is a single-link HD-SDI format at 2.970 Gbits/s for transmitting high-
bandwidth video formats that require higher data rates than 1.5 Gb HD-
SDI. Examples include 1080p60/50, 4:4:4 RGB or YCbCr HD, etc. There are
two approved versions of the 3G-SDI format: A and B. The 3G-A format is
typically used to carry a single high-bandwidth video signal, such as
1080p. The 3G-B format is used to multiplex two 1.5 Gb SDI signals
together into one wire, such as dual-link 1.5 Gb SDI.
24P A term for 24 full frames per second digital video progressively captured. It
generally refers to the HD format of 1920x1080, although it is also used
with 1280x720 images as well.
1080i Refers to a picture resolution of 1920 vertical pixels by 1080 horizontal
pixels. The “i” stands for interlaced scanning. Interlaced scanning is based
on the principle that the screen shows every odd line at one scan of the
screen and then all the even lines in a second scan.
