HDTV Between the fourth dimension – 120 Hz refresh rate
There is much discussion these days on the frame rate in the new HDTVs. The frame rate is simply displays the number of different images from a TV screen in one second and is also known as the exposure rate, or "Hertz". Hertz is the scientific unit of cycles per second and is abbreviated "Hz". The latest slogan "120 Hz", a display of 120 frames per second. It is two times faster than most of HDTV (60Hz) that are capable of, it is better than a smooth motion pictures. But,The human eye is about 20 to 25 different images per second, so why should it matter what the frame rate process because it is faster than the eye can not see?
The answer comes when you consider that each video will be shot with the same speed. The movies are often filmed with a rate of 24 Hz, is on television, the most fired at 30 Hz, and some sporting events are now filmed at 60 Hz
Some simple calculations, we can illustrate the problem and show the solution. When a TV screen displays 60 frames perSeconds, and the cable-TV companies and transmits 30 frames per second, which is easy to use: TV shows each frame twice, there are a picture of two successive images. Each image is exactly 1/30th of a second on the screen recently, and everything seems perfectly smooth.
So what happens if your DVD player sends 24 frames per second on TV, but TV shows ever 60 on the screen? It is a bit slower than the rate of cable TV and the chassis, if only so shows eachPart two, and then waits for the next, it becomes a black hole in the middle, and the movie will be terrible. Thus, the TV image should triple, double the next three next time and so forth to show what a total of 60 frames per second. This is known as 3:2.
The 3:2 pull-down trick works well, but it is a problem. A picture lasts 20 seconds, then the following takes 30th A 20 seconds time to say enough for most people that it really isstatic images, and when the camera pans around a scene appear to move much things. But if your TV is displaying 120 frames per second, it can input from 24 Hz to each frame can be shown only 5 times for a total of 1 / 24 (or 5 / 120) seconds per image, without having to change each frame. And when comes the 30Hz video, it shows each frame 4 times for a total of 1 / 30 (or 4 / 120) seconds per image. Problem solved.
Now that the frame rate is fast enough toany type of entry smooth, high-definition television, not only with high resolution in X and Y (height and width) dimensions, but the T (time) dimension. As in all types of digital media means higher resolution of small data units, the more realistic representation of reality means. The 120 Hz refresh rate is not very common until 2008, but some have HD television sets, as the series XBR4 Sony Bravia and the Sharp Aquos 92U-series.
HDTV has certainly startedthe fourth dimension (time), but he jumped off the deep (third) in the process. Until we see start to see holographic films on DVD, we have to wait for a real four-dimensional TV.
