Beosystem 3 and 1080p/24p

21 replies

Is there any news on Beosystem 3 supporting 24p with the latest updates?

I think we are on version 4+ for the BeoSystem SW - right?

Does anyone know if supporting native 24fps could be achieved using a SW update? Or is B&O not doing this as it would require a HW update...

So sad when you have a nice plasma that can handle it and also a source ... but the middle ware (BS3) stops it.... :(

 

a dealer confirmed to me that BS 3 handles 24p.....assuming he is right and you are all wrong...!? ❓

Aren't their any specifications on the internet who can confirm the 24 frames per second issue?

Given that Toshiba added 24fps capability to their 1080p HD DVD players by way of a firmware update,what is preventing B & O from doing likewise for the Beosystem 3?

Is it perhaps that the processing in the Beosystem 3 is so good that it does not require a 24fps option?

I discovered that connecting a Toshiba E1 (maximum 1080i resolution) to my Pioneer LX608 did not produce judder.

The concensus view on another forum was that this was down to the Pioneer's excellent processing capability.

In fact,I could see no difference in performance between an E1 at 1080i,and an XE1 at 1080p/24.

With the current software I have (4.00a) there is no 24p support, so still judder.

As far as I know the Pioneer Plasma's have nice feature for a reverse pull down processing (like a few video processor e.g. VP50), so  you will not see the judder. However, on my plasma (Panasonic TH-50) I don't see the judder to much due the viewing distance (3,70m), but on my 2,24m screen with the projector you will notice the judder in just a second....

For a high end video processor like the BS3 and the B&O promiss to deliver the best picture and viewing expirience 24p support is a must! With more and more Blue Ray player finding their way into consumers houses, B&O should (hopefully) have a fix soon.

Hi, Carsten

If I put Filmmode to "off", am I getting rid of the judder then?
