February 11, 2002 (New York, NY) -- According to the 2001 - 2006 DTV Migration Trends Survey, conducted by SCRI International, Inc. (www.scri.com), the premier source of market and technology information for broadcast and professional video/audio sectors, almost one in three (32.1%) post facilities are currently providing 24P frame progressive HD digital format capability -- this is expected to increase to about half of all facilities (49.1% ) by the end of 2002, and to almost two thirds of post houses by the end of 2003 (64.2%). With 19% of post facilities currently unsure as to when they will offer 24P HDTV capability, the actual adoption rate is likely to be somewhat higher. 24 fps progressive mastering format in 1080x1920 was originally proposed back in 1998 to simplify the process of converting to the various video standards for the networks and broadcasters worldwide.
