Does a 4:3 underscan overscan/show up on a 16:9 monitor displaying 4:3 footage?
Cheers.

Rob Lohman January 25th, 2004, 08:48 AM If it is a 16:9 TV I don't think so. I'm pretty sure they are working with the TV safe zone with all their scaling and whatnot. A broadcast monitor is a different question and it'll probably display it fully. But, that might depend on the monitor. If you have a monitor in mind it might be best to just contact the company and ask the question to a technical person for the product[line]? Kevin Lee January 26th, 2004, 02:33 AM Thanks rob. I was enquiring about consumer 16:9 tvs and lcds. The newer models have zooming too so it got me wondering. I see a lot of footage with dirt and masks in over-scan. I'm guessing more meticulousness is in order for 4:3 footage with the rising popularity of widescreens. Cheers. Rob Lohman January 27th, 2004, 02:06 PM Go to your local big TV shop and ask if you can watch some footage. That should give you a pretty good idea. My guess would be they aren't showing it (consumers can be picky about such things). |
