CineAlta is a brand name that Sony put on only their very best professional equipment that is capable of shooting in native 24p (23.98 to be exact) progressive scan mode, such as HDCAM for example. You won’t find the CineAlta badge on the budget V1 as it does not shoot in true progressive mode, although it equates to a complete progressive frame it is not recorded this way, instead the V1 records the frame as two separate interlaced fields, only it records them at the same time, as opposed to the usual interlace method where the second field is recorded a 50th of a second after the first.
