I take it that you're into prescriptive linguistics, which unfortunately (or fortunately!) isn't how English works. In my opinion, "60i" is more appropriate a description when there are 60 temporally distinct pictures than "30i", convention be damned. I'd spell out "30 frames/s" or "60 fields/s" if there was any risk of confusion, though.
