The HDR Wow Factor is Coming to Broadcasters (Featured / Editorial)
July 31st 2017 - 08:00 AM

We shooters, and the broadcasters that hire us, have long had a noble and worthy goal: that what we see with our naked eye should match what we see on our TV at home.

4K and the Numbers Game (Featured / Editorial)
August 3rd 2015 - 06:00 PM

Marketers like large numbers, hang the physics of realising an image and the psychovisual complexities of rendering a scene into the visual cortex.

We saw all this with HD. Most European countries adopted 1080 interlaced HD, disregarding tests that showed 720p50 pictures looked better. We know that to avoid the artefacts of interlace vertical resolution had to be sacrificed, so a progressive scan picture with fewer lines looked sharper, but the number 720 was not that much more than the old SD standard of 625 lines. The detail that the SD picture had only 576 active lines was irrelevant, it’s all about numbers. On top of that the public were sold 1080P receivers, when broadcasts were interlaced, OK you could view 24P movies, but even today, 1080P remains overlooked, passed over in the numbers game.
