Network Switches

24 frame per second motion picture film when projected in a theater, as film, is flashed 3 times for each frame, by the projector. Each image is "flashed" 3 times during projection. Then move to the next image, flash it 3 times ...

You know that "film" was flashed 3 times per second, which again was not ideal but an acceptable compromise.

Huh? @24fps, film would have 24 exposures per second. If you’re referring to pre-flashing or post-flashing the negative, those are totally different processes that are executed in the lab, not in the camera. Flashing is intended to fog the film and reduce the gamma. The Director of Photography, Vilmos Zsigmond, employed flashing on the movie, "McCabe and Mrs. Miller".

The elephant in this room seems to be a simple question:  If we are focusing on Internet sourced streaming fidelity, how do these “audiophile switches” compare to directly connecting to your modem and unplugging/disabling all other devices on your network?

 This is fun. I, a Canadian got a 98.9 on your silly SAT in the 60s. How? I cheated. ;)

No, not new at all. 3 blade or 3x speed shutters were used with 16fps film early 20’s (or earlier). When the switch was made to 24fps, they dropped to 2 blades or 2x shutters, which was late 1920s.


I can’t remember when 3x shutters with 24fps became common, I want to say late 70’s, early 80’s, but even today, you would find 2x shutter regularly if the theater has not gone digital.
