-
- Frame rates are important for interactive video (like videophones).
-
- Below 12-15 fps you can see visible "flicker" or "jump" in the image.
- This is perceptable at 20fps if you're real sensitive to it. I have
- >serious< problems with image flicker; more than an hour or so of it
- and my eyes complain profusely.
-
- Now, at REAL slow frame rates (5fps and below) its just annoying to me
- and doesn't give me headaches and the like. Its the median amounts
- that are troublesome for me.
-
- Most motion pictures are 24fps, as above. Broadcast video is 1/2 the
- line rate normally (30fps interlaced in the US, 25fps where power is
- 50Hz).
-
- However, if you run a high-res short-persistence display at 30fps you
- WILL see flicker in the image. The sharper the picture the worse the
- problem. This is why newer monitors for computer systems tend to run
- 72Hz non-interlaced displays (no flicker AND no "beat" or even
- multiple with the 60Hz beat of office lighting).
