About CineAlta Technology



So, what is the Sony CineAlta system? The concept of the CineAlta system is to provide digitally, to the degree possible, many of the wonderful imaging attributes of 35mm motion picture film while adding expanded creative flexibilities that are indigenous to digital acquisition and post production. The "24" refers to the image capture rate of 24 frames per second, which fully emulates the globally popular 24-frame picture capture rate of motion picture film.


The "P" stands for "Progressive" scanning, which also replicates the way that film is exposed, with the entire frame representing a single instant in time. In addition to bringing the "look" of this new digital medium closer to that of film, the 24P system expedites the post processes of transferring to or from motion picture film. 24P empowers directors and cinematographers on the camera set - offering unprecedented and exciting real-time creative capabilities while shooting - to realize the innovative imaging aspirations of digital production.
