- Its frame-rate example shows how 24 fps material sent at 60 Hz alternates between 50 ms and 33.3 ms frames.
Field notes
The guide uses a night scene to expose gamma errors, a face close-up to make gamut shifts easier to spot, and end credits as a frame-pacing test. Its proposed signal chain runs from DaVinci Resolve through a Blackmagic UltraStudio Monitor 3G to the projector over SDI or HDMI, with the project set to 24 or 25 fps before importing. It notes that a DCP remains more reliable.
