The use of desktop computer based packages like PhotoShop and After Effects to produce both 16:9 and 4:3 graphics has increased dramatically over the last few years.
在最近几年,桌面电脑上的软件诸如PS和AE ,在16:9和4:3图形图象处理领域的应用戏剧化地增长。
Although these packages produce excellent results there are problems transferring the images to video. Maintaining the correct size, shape, colour and luminance levels of a graphic is obviously very important.
然而,即使这些软件工作地非常出色,但是从图象到视频仍然有一些问题。比如,保持正确的尺寸,形状,颜色,流明度方面的问题就明显非常重要。
History
What size is a television picture?
There are 576 active lines in a television picture, making it 576 pixels high. A 4:3 image would therefore be:
历史
电视画面的尺寸是多少?
回答:在电视画面中,有576条动态的扫描线,也就是在高度中有576个象素。因此,一个4:3的画面应该是:
(576 x 4) ÷ 3 = 768 pixels wide.
(576*4)/3=768象素 在“宽”(横向)上
However this assumes the pixels are square - but television pixels are not square. They have an aspect ratio of approximately 1:1.094. A 4:3 television picture would therefore be:
然而这个结果是基于象素是正方形的情况下的---但是电视象素不是正方形的。电视上有一个象素长宽比,大约是1:1.094。所以,一个4:3的电视画面因此应该是:
768 ÷ 1.094 = 702 non-square pixels wide
768/1.094=702 象素(非方形象素的情况下,宽度上)
So a 4:3 television image is 702 pixels wide by 576 high.
所以,一个4:3的电视画面是 702象素 * 576高。
But anyone who has imported graphics from a computer system to the television systems knows the correct width to make the image is 720 pixels! Why - and where did the extra 18 pixels come from?
但是任何一个从电脑系统导入到电视系统的人,都知道建立正确图象的宽度上应该是720象素!为什么有这额外的18个象素---以及这18个象素从哪里来的?
Digital pictures are effectively wider than analogue pictures by 18 pixels but the 4:3 image sits inside the 720 by 576 area. The additional 18 pixels are required for digital processing and it would be perfectly acceptable to leave them black - but if the image is shrunk via a digital DVE, two 9 pixel wide black stripes will be seen at the sides.
