NOTE:
MOVIE MODE 3:2 PULLDOWN DETECTION SPECIAL FEATURE
Theatrical movies are shot on film at 24 frames or still pictures per second, instead of 30 frames or 60 fields like video. When
film is transferred to video for television viewing, the disparity between the two frame rates must be reconciled. This involves
a process known as 3:2 pulldown.
When MOVIES mode is selected from the PICTURE MODE menu, your Hitachi Plasma Television will activate the circuitry
for this special feature to improve video performance when watching film based sources. This 3:2 pulldown detection will
only work in MOVIES mode.
