Telecine is 24fps-->30fps right?

Hi, I'm kind of confused.

Telecine does non-interlaced-->interlaced (24fps-->30fps) right?

There's a presentable explanation here

Thanks for the link I'll look at it.
But, I've read about telecine/IVTC on wikipedia and other websites, I'm just not 100% sure which one is telecine and which one is IVTC.

IVTC is Inverse Telecine.

IVTC is the process of retrieving the 24fps progressive frames from 30fps interlaced footage which was created by the telecine process.

Note that not all 30 fps interlaced material is derived from film/24p source - TV shows etc tend to be true interlaced with no duplicate fields.

Okay, thanks.
