Frames per second on TV

[Bill in SD, CA]

My son and I were just watching a replay in the ACLS and he asked what the FPS was on a TV camera.

Anyone?

mmm 29.7 I believe

Im not completely sure, but here's my guess(es)

29.970 for NTSC Signal (american TV, etc)
25 for PAL signal (Australia, new zealand etc)
23.976 for films (movies, etc)

As you can see, films are recorded using less frames than normal Television!

Cheers
