The frame and field rates that have been used for television since the 1930s cause problems for motion portrayal, which are increasingly evident on the large, high-resolution television displays that are now common. This paper reports on a program of experimental work that successfully demonstrated the advantages of higher frame rate capture and display as a means of improving the quality of television systems of all spatial resolutions. Additional benefits were identified from the use of high frame-rate capture for the production of programs to be viewed using conventional televisions. Ways to mitigate some of the production and distribution issues that high frame-rate television implies are suggested.
