==== Progressive mode

so we don't need to deinterlace manually using 1080 with HD-SDI

{{:hardware:ag-ac160a_operatinginstructions_advanced.pdf|Camera Manual Part 2}}, Page 23:

You can shoot in progressive mode when you select 25P for 1080 mode in AVCHD mode or 25P for 576 mode in DV mode in the //REC FORMAT// item on the setup menu //RECORDING SETUP// screen. [...]

**25P mode:**
Shoots 25 frames/second in the progressive mode.
For output and recording of video signal, the 25 frames/second image is converted to 50-field-per-second interlace signal [for SDI output]. This mode gives high quality video.
