Why is that an impracticality? TV productions are pretty much all still at 50/60Hz, they get syndicated to Netflix and streamed or sold on Blu-Ray and watched that way every day.
There's nothing new that has to be changed to support this, most of the content people are watching is already HFR.
- bscphil 5y agoThis surprised me and so I wanted to check it out, but I think you're incorrect about this. I checked a number of shows shot in the last 15 years (The Expanse, The Wire, Schitt's Creek, Squid Game, Star Trek: Discovery, Foundation, New Girl, Community, Westworld), and every single one of them is either 24 fps or 23.976 fps in the versions available for streaming on the web.
- kuschku 5y agoPretty much every TV documentary or larger production (e.g. Eurovision) is still 50/60Hz though. It's only the narrative based shows that try to be "cinematic" which are at those low fps rates. But the technology is there, it works just fine.
