Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Upconversion As Fast As Possible”.
It would be a wonderful world if we could just watch everything in glorious for care, even at the very least full 1080p HD, but we’ve all been faced with that unfortunate choice when watching something that was recorded and encoded at a lower resolution. Do you watch it in a tiny little window to keep the picture sharp and just kind of move your face closer to the screen, or do you blow it up to full screen only to have everything look like it was recorded on a potato for years. Now many companies have been looking for a better solution to this, or at least a partial solution to this, and it’s called upconverting or upscaling and while you mostly see it used as a marketing tool on new murderers or TVs, you’ve probably used up conversion. At some point in your life, even if you’ve completely sworn off optical discs, for example, if you’re watching a 480p YouTube video and you make it fullscreen on your HD or full HD monitor, then the video has effectively been up scaled to fit the screen.
You see that 480p video contains about 300,000 individual pixels, which might sound like a lot, but Full HD resolution contains over two million pixels with 4k being four times that amount. So there just aren’t enough pixels, then in low res video to actually fit the whole screen. Without doing some kind of a conversion now modern displays themselves have logic that can apply an algorithm to a lower resolution, video clip or even something like your bios as you’re booting up your computer for the first time and it what can do is guess what the Missing pixels should be when it expands the video to full screen.
Unfortunately, a lot of the time it just plain doesn’t look very good. For example, if the display recognizes that there’s a lot of you know, grass in sound of music it’ll fill in that grassy area with basically big chunks of antek green pixels that looks pretty nasty now upscaling logic can try to smooth out the edges of those lines. So they don’t look so blocky, but this amounts to basically an anti aliasing effect, as opposed to something that really makes it look as though it were actually shot. You know in 4k, for example, so wait a second done Linus, if it’s better than nothing.
How do I get this up? Conversion then, can all screens do it and if all screens can do it well, what’s the point of those up converting DVD players that I see at the store they just snake-oil, not exactly so DVD. It’S right in the name is a digital format, but most early DVD players only had analog outputs like component video. This means that the signal is getting converted from digital to analog and then back to digital again, when it goes on to your flat-screen TV. This conversion and reconversion ultimately leads to a loss in quality, so modern up, converting players have digital output such as HDMI, to avoid doing so many conversions, and they also have their own more sophisticated up, converting logic that is arguably better than especially what an older TV Would be able to do on its own? Remember, though, that upscaling isn’t a real substitute for watching native high-definition or 4k content and an upscaled video is always not going to look as good as something that was shot natively and encoded in higher definition.
So, specifically, no matter how good your algorithm is and they’re always trying to sell the upconverting capabilities. All this new TV, when it runs at a resolution for which there’s no freaking content available, no matter how good it is, you can expect some blurriness or other visual artifacts from the processor guessing where the pixels should be, but you should notice a slight improvement making. It at least a way to breathe a little more life into your standard definition. Videos.
As long as you manage your expectation and don’t think that it’s going to be as though The Wizard of Oz was shot on a freak naari Alexa with that said, if the makers of The Wizard of Oz had asked me if they should use an Ari Alexa, I’D have said you should, because today’s sponsor is Squarespace Squarespace, with their tons of awesome templates that feature responsive design.
