FAQs
- A crash course in color conversion - Perceived television-image quality depends on source-material characteristics, on how that material gets transported to the reception system, and on the capabilities of the circuits in that reception system. Rate this link

- Fields: Why Video Is Crucially Different from Graphics - The major video signals used in the world today are field-based, not frame based. Whenever you deal with video, it is absolutely crucial that you understand a few basic facts about fields. Correctly dealing with fields in software is tricky; it is fundamentally different than dealing with plain ol' graphics images. This document explains many of these basic concepts. Rate this link

- Motion portrayal, eye tracking, and emerging display technology - paper explores how the temporal characteristics of image capture and image display devices interact with eye tracking Rate this link
- Spatial Oversampling: Why HD0 Broadcasting Makes Sense - People seem to think that high definition television needs lots of lines, but it's a myth. Cameras and displays need a lot of lines to overcome aperture effects and to render the raster invisible, but the transmission medium between doesn't. In the early days of television, the capture, transmission, and display formats had to be identical for simplicity, but that's no longer true or desirable. Rate this link
- Square and Non-Square Pixels - Pixels in the graphics world are square. Pixels in an ITU-R BT.601-4 digital video signal (also known as Rec. 601 and formerly CCIR 601) are non-square. The term which describes this difference is pixel aspect ratio. The pixel aspect ratio for square pixels is 1/1. Rate this link
- Signal to Noise Ratio - The arch enemy of picture clarity on a monitor is noise, this is electronic noise that is present to some extent in all video signals and manifests itself as snow or graininess over the whole picture on the monitor Rate this link
