'''HiDef''' (short for '''high definition'''), also called '''24p''', is a 24 [[frames per second|frames-per-second]] [[Digital data|digital]] [[video]] format for high-[[Image resolution|resolution]] capture of [[film|motion pictures]]. The ''24'' refers to the frame rate (24 frames/second) and the ''p'' stands for [[progressive scan]]ning (as opposed to [[interlaced scanning]]).<ref>Wilt, A. (2003, November). 24p dissected. In ''Technical difficulties. DV, 11,'' 88.</ref> As of 2003, there are two 24p HD formats: [[Sony]] 24p and [[Panasonic]] 24p.

[[Camera]]s of this capture depth have been available only since about 2001. Notably, they were used by [[George Lucas]] for the production of his second [[Star Wars]] [[prequel]], ''[[Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones|Attack of the Clones]]''. The advantage of shooting with digital-capture cameras is the efficiency in the production process. To edit scenes digitally, no transfer from [[film]] to digital is required. Also, if it is projected with a digital projector, no transference to film is required, either.
