I don't believe that it is going to, no. I'm not even sure it or the A1 is able to offer something like that.

The new A2/E1 in terms of the way it handles the video side of things is much the same as the two first gen players and the 24p update is only apparently coming for the XA2/XE1. Whether what it will do is take 24p directly from the encode or take 24p, convert it to 1080i/60 then back to 24p or not I don't know. I'd suspect the latter, but if implemented right that approach shouldn't cause a problem.

We should get definitive answers next week.
