CRT TV - 23.98 FPS / CAMERA - 23.98 FPS / SHUTTER 180°
This is an example of our most reliable 24 fps option. This is a 24 fps camera shooting at a 24 fps CRT TV which is being fed an image from our 24 fps converter package. This is the most robust workflow and the method we recommend to the majority of our clients.

CRT TV - 29.97 FPS / CAMERA - 23.98 FPS / SHUTTER 180°
​This is an example what a CRT TV would look like if we don't set it for 24 fps and don't adjust our shuttle angle. This is a 30 fps TV shot at 24 fps with a standard 180 degree shutter angle. It features flickering and bars in the screen as a result.

CRT TV - 29.97 FPS / CAMERA - 23.98 FPS / SHUTTER 144°
​Here is a 30 fps CRT TV that we are shooting in 23.98 fps, however the flickering and bars have been minimized as a result of our 144 degree shutter angle. You can see that there is some tearing in the screen when the camera does a pan or tilt maneuver. This is a workaround solution for clients that do not want to rent a 24 fps playback kit.

LCD - 29.97 FPS / CAMERA - 23.98 FPS / SHUTTER 180°
​Here is a 30 fps LCD TV that we are shooting in 24 fps.  While modern LCD monitors do not require 24 frame playback equipment, there are still some older LCD monitors that will pulse slightly when shot at 24 fps such as this one.

LCD - 29.97 FPS / CAMERA - 23.98 FPS / SHUTTER 270°
​Here is a 30 fps TV that we are shooting in 24 fps, and the pulse we previously saw have been reduced to a minimum due to the 270 degree shutter angle.
