Hi,

I was on a shoot last week that was supposed to be an HD shoot on a Varicam.
The camera itself was not as tall as I remembered other Varicams. It had
"DVCPro HD" printed on one side and 720P on the other. The Varicam logo
looked askew as if it had fallen off and had been reglued.

So looking it up on the net shows me a 1280x720 camera. The 720 I'm familiar
with is 720x480. What is it about this variacam that would make them put 720
on the camera rather than 1280?

Regards,

Ty (confused in Baltimore) Ford
