John,
	I feel it necessary to distinguish between vertical sampling in
telecine and in video cameras. Telecines are inherently progressive scan
devices which then convert to interlace on output. That is why I take issue
with the Sony position that 48sf is absolutely different from 48i - it depends
entirely on the capture mechanism. A telecine running at the native frame rate
for that video standard ( 29.97/NTSC or 25/PAL) will produce a signal
equivalent to that which Sony describes as "segmented frame".
