Movie: Takeaway - 1080p + 5.1 On 9hd

[captaineos]

Finally an Australian movie that has excellent picture and sound quality!

Weave deinterlace to 1080p, and the cherry on top is 448kbps 5.1 surround sound.

Well done!

No one transmits in 1080p in Australia, not yet anyway

You missed: 'Weave deinterlace to 1080p', in other words it is being transmitted in 1080i

That's not what the thread title said "Takeaway - 1080p + 5.1 On 9hd" - bit misleading if you ask me

[LBM]

I like it anyway, looks good to not see signs of an interlaced signal on TV. I wonder why more shows don't do this?

[digitalj]

I think he's referring to the end result, not what was coming through before hitting his equipment.

[captaineos]

Think about it - film source means its not interlaced to begin with. Transmitting as 1080i is the best way to maintain maximum resolution. If your TV has a decent scaler and can actually DETECT the difference between film and video and then deinterlace accordingly, you can create a perfect 1080p.

If you are the sad, sad owner of a LG HD Plasma, then no its not 1080p becuase they all BOB deinterlace to an effective 540p.

Practically all film/drama programs do this? Only sport/live action/news doesn't (since it isn't film sourced 23.97fps -> 25fps)

[LBM]

True, but what about movies such as 15 Minutes the other day? That could have been so much better if it used the same technique (to me at least).

[anthonysimilion]

I didn't watch 15 Minutes (it wasn't broadcast in Perth), so I can't comment on what it was.

[benjo]

To correctly deinterlace do you need a hdmi connection with the stb outputting in 1080p, or can the tv deinterlace a 1080i signal?

Obviously it depends on the tv/stb, but which is more effective?

darn missed this last night

i didn't watch it, but i was under the impression that networks are able to broadcast progressive content. shows like Lost (or Erin Brockovich, aired recently), for example are

They can, just not 1080P

720P (ABCHD), 576P (7HD), just not 1080P, yet Not enough content around yet to justify the upgrade for the stations yet.

Not sure if 10 are capable after the recent upgrade though??

[anonymez]

10 and 9 (in brisbane, at least) both do 1920x1080i. most films are shown 1080p

[anthonysimilion]

1080i is the best format for these films, since those with the right equipment can deinterlace it (well, just show both fields at the same time) to 1080p25.

10's still 1080i. . . except now it's 1920x1080i. They definetly not capable of 1080p

According to wiki, current tv broadcasting systems are not equipped for true 1080p50

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1080i#1080i_vs_1080p

And you can add SBS HD to the 576p list.

If you deinterlace any interlaced video, don't you get progressive video anwyay. I don't get it.

It sounds like you're saying 'deinterlace the interlaced (1080i) video, and you now have progressive (1080p) video'

I don't get it. . . . is it still 25fps ?

Don't all LCD's do that ?

[captaineos]

"It sounds like you're saying 'deinterlace the interlaced (1080i) video, and you now have progressive (1080p) video'"

Well yes thats exactly what I am saying - if you deinterlace video then it is progressive. Thats simple enough surely.

"I don't get it. . . . is it still 25fps ?

Yes it would be a true 25fps.

Don't all LCD's do that ?"

No. There are so many ways to deinterlace video, and the most common is the worst way possible.

LCD's are progressive by nature, and what happens if you show interlaced content on a progressive screen? You get these interlace lines everywhere, it looks wrong.

IF THE SOURCE IS VIDEO - LIKE THE NEWS, THE BIGGET LOOSER ETC.....

Most LG Plasma's and cheap TV's simply delete every second line, making you loose half the resolution but eliminate any chance of seeing interlace artifacts.

Now a more expensive TV with a well designed scaler/deinterlace chipset, will recognise the areas of picture that move, and the areas that stay the same. It will only deinterlace the parts that move, but it will not deinterlace the parts that dont. This means you have maximum resolution but without interlace lines all over your screen.

WHEN THE CONTENT IS FROM FILM - LIKE THE MOVIE TAKEAWAY.

Even odd and even line per frame contains the same information ( im trying to keep it simple) - in australia film content is usually at 25fps - and if you weave every line together per frame, you keep 100% of the detail and there are no interlacing artifacts becuase its based on film (a progressive source) . This is how you get a perfect 1080p from 1080i.

If you dont understand then I am sorry,

BUT I MADE IT CLEAR - THE NETWORKS DO NOT BROADCAST IN 1080P - BUT IT CAN BE EASILY ACHEIVED.

But a crap story
