I record 30PsF in my C100 and it gets saved in a 60i wrapper every time (whether I like it or not). I wonder if the 59.94i output could be recorded on an external recorder ProResHQ and used to make the slo mo? IMHO, it really looks good...better than a 720p 60fps file slowed 50% and blown back up to 1080p. And it's as hard as dropping the 60i into a 1080p timeline and slowing it 50%.
Again, most things seem simple to a simpleton like me.
I think the SDI output is able to be fed into a live switcher for live broadcast or a recorder that is able to read interlaced files. I suspect it is real interlaced, but that might not even matter if it is in the interlaced wrapper. I can't imagine that an external recording device would fail to record it when a live switcher can read and display it. So the plan to make slow motion out of this could still work at least for HD resolution.
I was looking at the description of the possible sensor, the CMV12000. There are 32 different windows available and all are based on rows. I don't know what the options are besides the obvious full sensor, 3840, 1080 rows. Maybe some of the options use alternate rows and therefore true interlace could be supported. Just speculation but all will be revealed some day. So we continue to be patient.
